As a mentor, Emmy is humble, fun, perceptive and highly professional. She helped me to extend my skills and more importantly, build my confidence as an artist. This has been crucial to my recent successes. Her guidance and feedback on my work and her emotional support gave me the confidence to enter my paintings into competitions. As a result, I have been a finalist in 3 national art competitions.

Nyora Studio has been a highlight in my creative life and attending workshops there since 2009 has been responsible for seeing me re-establish my art career, supported and encouraged me to expand my way of seeing; and then launch me into a full university pathway as a mature aged student.
