Ali deeply impacted our daughters and equipped them with artistic tools and eyes that present themselves every day, from room decor/color balance and opposition, to finding flowers/twigs/leaves and creating 3D masterpieces, to looking at the fur of our tricolored puppies and finding negative/positive patterns and shapes, to remembering artists’ birthdays, to enjoying each and every day and finding something beautiful to smile about. Plus endless skills, strengths and confidence. You can't ask more from a teacher. Ali over delivers and brings the best out in ALL OF US.
