Sadly this is the last chance to attend some of Martina's Art Workshops.

The school will be closing after term 1 in 2020 after 21 years of operation in different places and in co-operation with other art schools.

There remains a possibility of further workshops offered through other art schools in the future, but those will, if happen, be rare occasions.

"I thank all my former students for their trust in my teaching, their loyalty and kindness."

Martina's passion for the art and her friendly, informal approach to teaching makes her classes both entertaining and highly informative. I highly recommend her "Business Seminar" to artists wishing to expand their understanding of business practices as they relate directly to visual art. Thanks Martina.

Martina's knowledge of structure in teaching art is brilliant and concise. She is able to articulate difficult concepts as well as demonstrates step by step methods in drawing and painting using visually easy to follow instructions. I would consider her one of the leading art teachers in Queensland.

Martina's combination of personal professionalism, knowledge and dedication to raise the standard of art as a  profession is great. The Business Seminar for Artists delivers far more than promised. It is an invaluable resource for practicing artists at all stages of their careers. Martina is completely honest and prepared to share her knowledge with all her fulfills.

Extremely informative on all aspects. I felt very comfortable asking questions. I learned a lot, more than at art school for 4 years!! Friendly, informative class and environment helped me. I found the course conclusive and enjoyed it thoroughly.

What I liked most was the awesome amount and depth of the very informative content. I was just lapping up the information at every class. All examples etc. provided gave me so much to consider, I feel very grateful for everything Martina shared.
