Testimonials

“I've been taking private mixed media classes with artist Leslie Pierce since January. She's an amazing and inspiring artist that has helped me learn and develop new painting skills/techniques. I'm very impressed by her way of teaching and her down-to-earth personality. She has a great art collection in her nice appealing studio. I would highly recommend her for any classes you'd be interested in taking. Acrylic! Oil! Mixed media! She's an expert.”

"I took Leslie's private painting lessons at a time when I was stuck and in a rut with my painting capabilities. Leslie was just what I needed to move forward! She is a very talented artist and knows how to motivate her students to discover their own talent."

"I took an intro to Encaustic Painting class with Leslie Pierce in Austin. Leslie is a great art teacher as well as amazing artist in her own right. She has the ability to teach students whose experience may be minimal to the advanced artist, wanting to incorporate additional skills and techniques into their practice. In her class, she demonstrated techniques and then worked one-on-one with students to ensure their understanding of her teaching. She also discussed the history of encaustic painting and the use of by contemporary artists today. Leslie’s class was fun and informative and was a nurturing environment to explore and learn new creative skills. I highly recommend taking one of Leslie’s classes/workshops!"
