“I signed up for the Free Taster Course and I’m really enjoying it is really helping me 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! The Bonus access to the Heart & Soul Art Academy is a game changer. WOW ! is all I can say, I will definitely sign-up as a full member once I have finished the taster course.
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 love the Heart & Soul Art Academy! 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 Academy together with all the integral masterclasses and community areas takes my art to new levels ! Thank You Joy.”
