Beth Neuhoff 

"I’ve learned new ways of approaching the canvas. Adele and the Art with Adele community is a safe place for honest, positive feedback.” 

Jamie Medcafe

“I used to be rigid and fearful of making mistakes, but you’ve taught me there are no mistakes. So now, when I think I’ve ‘messed up’ I just laugh and paint over it.”

Linda Blazonis
