“I filled out the Artist Questionnaire and received my free consultation!  I’m so glad I did that!  I want to thank Leigh-Ann very much for her insightful consultation.  It definitely caused me to look at some things.  I realized that my major public is, and always has been, those who love, admire, appreciate, and/or have horses.  One of my original purposes in learning Oriental Brush Painting was to learn to paint horses. In the spontaneous style of brush painting which is what I do, one seeks to capture the essence. That is what I want to accomplish.  For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be able to merge my poetry with art of my own creation. I realized that is still what I want to do.  To that end, I’ve connected-up with a brush painting artist who specializes in painting horses, and she is going to teach me!!  Since I embarked upon this learn-to-paint journey, I have established the technical skill necessary to focus on horses. They are not by any means the easiest of subjects, and I gladly accept the challenge.  So, the failed purpose has been rehabilitated!! Again, thank you for your help…” BD

“I have been in contact with Leigh Ann, for a little over one year. I found her through an art link and we started out our friendship by e-mail and then on the chat line and later by phone. She has been most helpful in teaching me to build a web site to display my art work and to put me into contact with other places to get exposure for my work. There has never been a time when she has been too busy to help. The really special thing about this is that Leigh Ann did this for the simple reason of helping her fellow person get a foothold in art exposure. I had no idea where to start but through Leigh Ann I have really had my eyes opened to another world of the arts. She is a very special person to give of her time and her expertise … just because she wanted to help. She is so talented in so many ways!”  C.B.

Dear Friend,
“Indeed it is again so nice to hear from you again which is a reaffirmation of our friendship and all the things that we share as artists and as art lovers.  At a time when I was at the lowest morale before going to Paris and when I was not even sure if I will get a VISA or not, your encouragement has only been a good omen for me and I cannot thank you enough for it.”

“By the way, thank you! I put my photography on a website and applied to another based on your encouragement from your site. Haven’t sold anything but it’s out there for the first time in 20 years. Yes, please keep encouraging people to do that, even my daughter was impressed and we’re adding her work to my site (she’s 26) and her drawings and photos are beautiful. Thank you so much, your site is wonderful and you are doing great things in encouraging artists. You are doing something I wish had been done years ago, it really helps knowing someone is giving you guidance and direction to get your work out there. Your site helped a great deal in getting me to start showing it to people other than my friends.” A.G. Photographer and Artist

“A few months ago you passed on information about showing art in the upcoming independent film, Love Surreal. I wanted to let you know that I applied and 3 of my paintings were chosen to be in the movie. Filming just ended and I got my paintings back. I want to thank you for this opportunity – I never would have found this without you. I am interested in any other opportunities and am always excited to receive your mailing list emails.” Thank You!
