Comments from a student in my last class:
- "Peg Sheridan surpasses any expectations anyone could have. She is very knowledgeable of all types of watercolor artists' styles and expressions. Unlike most, she is able to share that with her students in a way that inspires. Peg goes way behond what one would expect for prepping and delivering a wonderful lesson. She is very kind and always offering a positive comment to help each individual improve. She is a talented artist, a great teacher, and a person anyone would benefit in knowing. I am so happy I joined her classes."
