"I had a professor say one time 'You can't teach someone how to be an artist; that's an inside job.' But I think teachers serve as mirrors and sounding boards for students to see and hear better what it is they are trying to express creatively. It definitely helps to accelerate your growth when you have someone who is familiar with your work and what you are trying to achieve."
~ Helen Dannelly
"Helpful and encouraging"
I just read the comments on my painting and want to thank you for what you added. I am happy to have your expanded opinions. Very helpful and so encouraging. You made my day.
~ Linda S.
“This painting has been my nemesis for weeks. But what I've learned from Helen brought it together and saved it. Thanks Helen!”
~ Sherry M.
"Challenging and generous"
Helen provides the encaustic artist the foundations to explore taking the medium in new and exciting directions. She was patient in answering students’ questions and generous with her support well beyond the actual time spent together in the Zoom meetings.
Helen challenged me to build on the foundations from the class, encouraging me to begin to develop a body of 3D encaustic work. Helen shared her knowledge and time to support me individually as I experimented with these new materials. She challenged me to think in new ways and gave generously of her support when I had questions or encountered problems in my work.”

"Supportive and Knowledgeable"
"Helen Dannelly is a fabulous instructor! Supportive and knowledgeable. I did a lot of playing with different material and plan to expand my experiments more. I've learned SO much!”
