“Mary Susan’s art class was such a cool experience for my daughter. Mary Susan encourages the kids to be creative and find their own artistic styles. She made several pieces that we were able to hang on our walls right away. Being in her professional art studio was an added bonus- my daughter felt like a real artist!”
