Student Success Stories/Testimonials

  • “Edy is both a gifted educator and an active working artist. She teaches essential art-making skills while fostering self-reflection and a growth mindset. Her innovative use of technology inspires trailblazing student work and expands their self-expression. She is a self-starter, problem solver, collaborator, and deeply values integrating multiple modalities to connect subjects and people.”

    Jena Doolas | SEED | LCSW – Social Worker & Seminar Leader

  • “I worked with Edy for over 20 years, watching her grow into a master teacher. Passionate, creative, and collaborative, she created an open environment where students thrived and faculty enjoyed working alongside her. She took on many roles that inspired us to think outside the box. Edy has a lot to offer—take the time to know her and her work.”

    Mary Beth Barry | Brentwood School | Director of Admissions (Retired)

  • “Edy taught my four children throughout their elementary years, nurturing individuality, confidence, and a love of art. Her influence still shapes them today—two pursued art-related college degrees, one continues drawing as therapy, and another takes advanced life drawing classes. She inspires both creative skill and personal growth, and I highly recommend her.”

    Abby Kohl | Former Parent

  • “Edy taught me to let my inner artist fly free. Her non-prescriptive style encouraged experimentation, ‘happy accidents,’ and fearlessness—skills that shaped me as an artist and a person. Her vast technical knowledge, innovative projects, and warm demeanor made a lasting impact. I now exhibit internationally, carrying her wisdom into my daily practice.”

    Samantha Rosenwald | Professional Artist & Former Student

  • “Edy’s patient, encouraging, and inspiring presence helped our daughters grow as both artists and confident young people. Her impact is lasting.”

    Rebecca Parker | Former Parent

  • “Edy didn’t just teach Samantha how to draw—she helped her find her voice as an artist.”
