Yvonne is incredible! She has fantastic and unique ideas and is a gifted teacher. My children thrive in her class. (Thank you Jodie Marsten)
My kids took the Soap Stone Carving workshop and loved it. Yvonne is a great teacher and the kids had a really fun time creating with her! (Thank you Karen Godin:)
Hi Yvonne,
Thank you for Monday night!  For being patient and kind but mostly for encouraging me.  You took the time near the end of the evening to sit beside me and that gave me the opportunity for one-on-one help.  It was a time for stretching me and I enjoyed myself.  I still have my cards lying on the kitchen table as I am proud of them.  I got my son and husband out of bed on Monday night to take a look at them when I got home J
I want to encourage you as a teacher/instructor as you encouraged an adult student.  Thank you and thank you for giving me the instructions and demo cards you brought that you had previously made.
Thank you for your kindness,
Jackie   (Wow! So Nice! Thank you:)

To Mrs. Baine, Thank you so much for teaching us all those art styles and finding unique ways for us to do them.  I didn't really like art before because I couldn't think of ideas so I really like how you outlined what we could do so easily. (Made my day Kaden. Thank you:)
Thank you for teaching us and helping with all the projects.  It was lots of fun to try and figure out what we were going to do next week. The art projects were really creative.  You are very talented and imaginative. (Thank you Monique:)

Art classes with Yvonne is like a party. But instead of having cake you get to paint. (Zlata you're so cute:)

My children have both taken Yvonne's class, one of them has taken 3 classes from her. We keep going back because she is fantastic with the kids. Easily one of the best teachers I've ever encountered both in home school circles as well as in our brick-and-mortar school experiences! She's kind, empathetic and connects genuinely to each student, making them feel welcome, confident and comfortable. HIGHLY recommend her classes! (Thank you Lyndsay Hood)


Once again thank you so much for the fantastic class you lead.  We now have an ‘art wall’ in our home, and we continually receive comments about the quality of the pictures that the boys create under your guidance.  They absolutely love art class, and look forward to it every week. We also appreciate your efforts with the latest class on ‘Meet the Masters’ – the boys have enjoyed telling us about the artists who have inspired their works this term!
All the best,  Tanya Hostyn

Thanks so much Yvonne, it was a fantastic day and the parents were all very impressed.  We appreciated your time and wonderful presentation.  We look forward to working with you again.  Marla , School of Hope. (Soap stone work shop) (2016)


Thanks for a great day.  The kids really loved their finished pieces.  It always amazes me what they can do in the four hours.
Marla, School of Hope, (2017)

I really wanted to thank you so much for hooking me up so I can order more stone.  I have a wonderful new passion and it all started with your workshop!  Thank you!

"Yvonne..... I really love my flower." (Talithia, age 6)

"Mom, please, please sign me up again."

"So. . . .this class wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be:)"

"Yvonne was brilliant with the children.  They learned new techniques with interesting art mediums in a comfortable, small group setting.  We framed the art produced in this class ~ a beautiful addition to our home."  (Janet Mayhew)

I want to pass on a wonderful fall art class taught by one of our fellow HSCF moms.  My 3 girls took classes with Yvonne this past year and had a blast, my facilitator even took pictures of my girls art work because she was so impressed with what they had been taught.  The classes are small and so much fun.  My girls want to continue this fall but would love for some of your children to join them for a great time of colors and paper!!!…  (Thank you Rene Van Doesberg)


I wanted to recommend Paint Cakes as our daughter loved her art classes there. (Thank you R. Chalifaux)
"I love doing many fun, unique projects.  My favorite parts were the clay castles and the pumpkin pictures." (Calla P. age 8)

"I enjoyed all the projects and I think Mrs. Yvonne is very positive and knowledgeable in art.  All the projects were different and varied: clay, pastel, pencil crayon.... They were all very fun and exciting to make." (Seth, age 11)

"It was so much fun at art class.  I am Aria.  I am from art class."  (So cute:)

Thank you Kids:)... and moms.
