In 2013 I was an occasional artist hobbyist who wanted to do more but could never 'find the time'. Confused about what I wanted to express or how to find or develop a unique style, I doubted whether or not anyone would ever care enough about my art to make it worthwhile. After about a dozen sessions with Ms. Jay, I'd developed a sense of confidence and direction I didn't think was ever possible. She had an absolute genius for finding meaning in my early art attempts that I couldn't see. Better yet, she taught me to see all that myself, and to tap into it. Most importantly, she helped me to be honest with myself and to BE myself. She promised that if I continued to do that, I could be any kind of artist I wanted to be, and that I'd find the people who appreciated my work. She was absolutely right on all counts. Today I'm a professional artist. I create every day, have an identifiable 'style', and support myself doing what I love. I never could have gotten here without Ms. Jay's creative wisdom and guidance. - Alan Winter www.winterboy.net
