Reviews of Peggy Ellis and her workshops:
Peggy is a blast to work with. I always recommend her as a teacher to students who say, "I am too scared to paint". She is such a positive force in the workshop -- truly the perfect teacher for people that don't know where to start. Peggy continues to inspire her students with her passion for the Low Country landscape and encouraging instructions. Whether you are "too scared" to start or an accomplished artist looking to evolve your practice, I highly recommend Peggy.

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your workshop. It was the best. Your beautiful personality and talent are so balanced. Love your fresh paintings and unique use of the palette knife. Hope to study again with you and will come to your studio in lovely Charleston on my next visit.
