"Every single time I talk to Doris about art, I walk away with some magical tidbit of knowledge that I can immediately apply to my own work. Her years of experience have led her to having so many tips and tricks up her sleeve, and she is so generous with sharing them. Doris is the kind of teacher who will make you a better artist– period."

~ Becca | The Happy Ever Crafter

"I've been following Doris's artistic work for a while now and have always wanted to learn how to do some of the amazing projects that she has done, specifically where she created beautiful lettering on non-papered items. I enrolled in her Lettered Luggage workshop where Doris talked about the steps for the project (from start to finish) such as the basics of lettering, composition and layout (the most interesting part for me) and how to apply this to any project. I loved that I was able to ask questions and receive tips/suggestions from her directly! I'm looking forward to learning from her again for another project!"

-Thuong Le Zhang

"I have taken numerous private lessons with Doris where we explored lettering on different mediums including chalkboard, glass and wood. Doris is one of the most creative person that I have ever met.  Her mindset of possible ideas for projects are simply amazing.  I have learned the industry’s best tricks and pearls to work on different surfaces, everything from the best tools for drafting and the final products. I have also learned how to do engraving from Doris. She is patient and her attention to details help me to critique my work. I have developed a much better artistic approach with all my work."
