“I bought your course a while back and decided to start it while on holiday. I’m really enjoying this course and I’m so pleased that your explaining how to create individuality and get into abstract art which is something I’ve been interested in exploring for a while now but didn’t know how to but now I DO!
Thank you so much Joy !.”

“I have ‘attended’ a couple of abstract painting classes online and I know that with Joy Fahey, I have not only learned so much more technically than the others combined but also gained a gift from her.
That gift was her enthusiasm and passion from her work that comes across so incredibly well. That passion changed my perspective and approach; I see it reflected in my work. Thank you Joy! “

“I enjoyed this course. I have taken a lot of abstract painting courses and found that if I’m open to things being taught, that sometimes expands into other ideas, and this course does that and more ! Thank You Joy.”
