My Kindergarten and first grade boys have been attending Moosewood Art Studio for a year and they were sad when they found out about summer break! They LOVE art class and so do I! Their confidence and abilities to draw, along with their knowledge of art techniques has improved more than I knew it could at this age. Melissa is an amazing teacher who brings out the best in her students. She sees and builds on their strengths while helping improve areas they need, all while having fun! It is easy to see that she loves what she does. 😀 Small class size gives her the ability to work individually with each student and she is so wonderful to work with on the ‘parent’ side of things. I highly recommend Moosewood Art Studio to anyone from beginner to advanced! Toni Miller, Palmer AK

Melissa has a dedicated heart to every student and is a sweet kind teacher. Understanding and sweet when life happens. I like that Moosewood Art Studio has small classes, great instruction, variety of projects, friendly classmates. Mostly I loved how energized our daughter was every time she finished class! Our daughter loved every minute! Carolyn Barry, Wasilla, AK

Definitely a great place to create new art with an amazing instructor. I highly recommended Moosewood Studio! Kelly Carver, Palmer, AK

Melissa is a great mentor because she makes the kids excited to learn. All my kids really enjoyed their classes! Although I never observed a class the kids were busy doing projects and sketches. It is always good to know that their time is being well used. Thanks! Sierra Nelson, Sutton AK

I like that Moosewood Art studio offers small class sizes and fun projects. Both my kids really like it. I like that Leo can go into class independently. Emily Hill, Palmer, AK

My daughter loves going to Moosewood Art Studio and looks forward to every week. She loves the whole experience and loves her teacher. Thank you for all you have given of yourself and time from your family to help my child’s love for the arts more advanced and always helping better herself. Pamela James, Palmer, AK

I have 2 girls in Melissa’s classes. They both love her as a teacher and love the projects that they do. I love how excited they are to talk about what they are working on and what they have learned. Tina Goodwin, Palmer AK
