Marlene Wheeler

​Student Painting(leave comments for Marlene at the end of her gallery)

I first  took  Kathy’s  drawing  class at Assabet Valley Night school program. I enjoyed it immensely.
I knew when I retired  on my bucket list was to  take her class in her home. It has been a positive experience and I look forward going to class and sharing a common interest with other students.
Kathy is upbeat, has a positive outlook and very informative and knowledgeable in teaching oil painting. I look forward to my weekly class. - Marlene W.
