Whatever your specific interest in art - or skill level, Amanda will meet you there and help you progress in both skill and in confidence.

I’m an interior designer and took pastel lessons from Amanda. She has so much patience and is really easy understand. She has such a good eye and gives instructions like baby steps in layers. I have had art lessons before but I have to say she is the best teacher I’ve had. My daughter took from her too and she was inspired by all different things Amanda opened her eyes and mind up to!

I have been a student of Amanda Gress for over 2 years and in that time she has taught me everything from charcoal, pastel chalk and oil painting. She is so incredibly patient and kind, always open and game to tackle any project I bring to her. No matter how odd or difficult the idea, she helps me tackle it with a fun and eager enthusiasm. Anyone would be lucky enough have her as an instructor.

Amanda was my art teacher in Los Angeles for maybe10 years. She was so amazing that I wasnt willing to give her up when she moved to Colorado. We have continued weekly lessons over FaceTime!

I have learned so much from her over the years. She really has helped elevated my art to another level!
