"What a week we had with Manuela Knaut at PaintSpace NOLA! As I review my work from the week, I can see her influence on me. Looking at my work in the order it was started, I can see my letting go, my experimentation, my changing color palettes. I can see the growth of that imperfection that I love and crave in my art! Manuela has a gift of not only seeing artists and their art but of listening to artists, of gathering the threads of their lives from the tidbits they revealed during the workshop. Thank you, Manuela, for believing in me and for encouraging me to be audacious!"

"What an incredible week of inspiration, support and just plain fun. I truly could not have chosen a better leap of faith to invest in for myself and my art. Julie Snidle is all she is touted to be and more… knowledgeable, articulate, approachable and oh so talented. PaintSpace is a lovely place to create and vibe with your soul and likeminded people! Vanessa… be forewarned, I’ll be back!"

"I have to brag on the beautiful studio in which everyone gets their own workspace with plenty of room to spread out. You get that opportunity to completely immerse yourself in your work, get in “the flow” and have that luxury , you don’t get at home, of uninterrupted time to create. I keep going back to see the artist friends I have made there over the past 2 years. Vanessa and Alisa feed you lunch every day, they help you unload, and get set up. They will recommend places for you to stay and where to eat. We all go out to a nice restaurant together, at least once. Treat yourself! You won’t regret it!"

"I did a four day workshop with Julie Snidle. We learned to use cold wax with oil pigment sticks. I loved it because everyone participating had a unique style and we learned from each other. I also loved it because Julie encouraged us to explore and experiment with the medium. We also spent time together as a group sharing meals and camaraderie. I left the workshop with new ideas, new artwork and new friends!"

"I will definitely be back to PaintSpace Nola for another workshop! The studio is the perfect set up to paint, create and meet other artists. Lunch is served daily and the food is both healthy and delicious. There are so many workshops on their line up being taught by artists that I admire, it will be difficult to choose!

"There isn't enough room here to explain what a magical experience learning from Megan Woodard Johnson was over the last 4 days. The space itself had an easy energy that offered students the opportunity to lock in and fully engage, collaborate and share ideas, or put our headphones on and take it to the next level until we were ready to interact again! Vanessa and Elisa were incredible hostesses, organizing everything from our work spaces to the delicious, healthy lunches and snacks. They were extremely accommodating, had many suggestions for how to enjoy the city, and even organized a dinner for our group! Lastly, the caliber of people that these rock star women attract was one of my favorite parts--I will definitely be back! Thank you all for a wonderful week!"

"PaintSpace NOLA was a fantastic experience. The service was impeccable, and the instructors were highly qualified and experienced. The owner, Vanessa, took the time to answer all my questions, and the attention to detail in her studio was impressive. I'm going home to my studio with more tools and techniques I learned there. An experience not to be missed! You'll be left with wonderful memories and paintings to be proud of. From one artist to another!

PaintSpace NOLA provided an atmosphere that was welcoming and comfortable where we could focus on Joan’s remarkable teaching. The hosts and their staff were all helpful and kind—the lunches they provided and served on their lovely patio were delicious, and the surrounding neighborhood was delightful and walkable.

I fell in love with New Orleans in the process and will be back! Just attended an inspiring workshop taught by the one and only Joan Fullerton, with her wicked sense of humor and clear instruction technique, in this studio. The space is well lit and air conditioned with all the facilities to accommodate artists splashing paint to their heart's content. Everything was well organized.
