Hi Jon Ginger and mods, maybe by now you can tell this is my first time learning how to manuver through the email process. I'm sorry if you have received duplicate email from me. It wasn't my intention.

After I won my tube of towels I had to tell by mom. I have been so excited ever since I found Ginger. I talk about you all the time to my friends and family.
I've wanted to paint since I was in 7th grade. I'm 58 now with RA disability, and to have Ginger as my teacher… I'm living my dream!

I love being in the face book group. Every one is so kind and helpful. I'm making new friends and learning so much from everyone.
I see all the beauty of the paintings by everyone and It's so inspiring and encouraging. I say to myself, I can do this.
Please share with Ginger I think she is an excellent teacher. I hope one day I will get the meet her.
I'm not afraid anymore to put the paint on the canvas! I want to be the best artist I can be, to tell my stories on canvas.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication in sharing your gifts with all of us. God bless you, Ginger Jon and all the mods.

Sincerely,
Diana Jones

I have recently returned to Ginger’s Academy after an unfortunate, but brief, painting hiatus. I’m proud to be a member, once again, of Ginger’s “Merry Band of Artists!” I originally became a member of the Academy in 2016 when I began painting in my late 40s. I began watching Ginger & Jon on YouTube, where I quickly discovered I wanted more of Ginger’s knowledge & instruction (as well as more stories!). Being an Academy student, not only do I get high-quality tutoring from one of the best artists around today, I get individualized, one-on-one attention with an honest, refreshing approach, and a great sense of humor to boot! Thank you, Ginger & Jon, for giving me the confidence to believe in myself, and help me grow as an artist. Your academy has been an invaluable tool in my art journey. Art Hugs!
