To Whom it May Concern,

I came to Marilyn Allen's painting class at the recommendation of a friend who was already in attendance. I come from home with two older siblings who were very accomplished in the area of drawing, sketching and painting. I didn't appear to have the eye or the ability to make the eye-hand connection. I just thought painting wasn't my thing. Painting or anything connected to it was not something with I was comfortable. Now I look forward to Tuesday mornings. I am not afraid to paint. I feel free to express myself using the sequencing techniques Marilyn has taught me. Every class is a new experience. I feel now that painting is becoming more and more a part of you life. I am looking at my surroundings differently. This time has been very stressful as I am looking for work as well and I also feel this has helped me distress. I many ways this has been a God send. If you have any further question for me please feel free to contact me using the phone numbers above.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan J. Ferency
