"Absolutely Beautiful! 

Mayor City of Melton, Sophie

Ann is a fantastic teacher. Very generous with her knowledge and very encouraging to students. From beginners through to advanced pupils she can offer guidance at all levels. Starting her lessons with a demonstration is great for someone new to painting or using pastels and is also useful for those needing to have a refresher or consolidate techniques they have used before. She makes everyone feel comfortable and offers help and advice where needed. Its also fun!.

I love the art classes! I started in October and had never picked up a pastel before. Ann is very knowledgable and passionate, which is contagious. The weekly projects are challenging yet rewarding. I felt comfortable from the first minute i walked into the studio. Everyone is really welcoming and kind. I've had lots of compliments about my art. I am excited to see what next term brings

"we wanted to let you know our painting arrived in Germany thanks to it's excellent packaging. We had a glass of champagne when we unpacked it and we will place it by the dining table for a nice reminder of our time in WA"

Ann is the best at art and she has the best ideas and sometimes we get to choose. Ann is the best at painting and soft pastels and she also has a big heart "

"Local Perth artist Ann Steer captures everything about Australian beaches in her beautiful work.  Ann's very approachable and real and her art workshops are so instructive as well!!"

"Reef Break is an absolute delight.  The way you have captured the reef, ocean and waves makes me feel I am on a balcony overlooking the real thing"

"When I saw this painting in Jahroc Gallery during a trip from the UK in April, I liked it very much and then immediately I saw it's title and was quite moved and began to interpret the image further.  I have never before been so dramatically affected by a work of art, Many thanks "in the beginning"

I am Jordana's Mum and I cannot praise Ann highly enough. She is a wonderful art teacher. She’s very patient and very knowledgeable about the use of different mediums and allows the students to create and express themselves. We have Jordana's work on the walls in our house and people are blown away by what she creates in her lessons. Please do yourselves a favour and book in for some lessons

"Learning of Ann's pastel class was the best thing I did.  At the time I lived alone and really looked forward to my Wednesday class (and still do) even though it is two buses and a train to get there.  It shows how good a teacher Ann is, very talented and friendly and apart from learning so much I now have a whole bunch of new friends and loads of lovely pictures I never thought I would be able to achieve.  Thank you Ann" 

Ann

"Ann, you are hands down the best art teacher I have ever had.  I can't rave enough to friends and random art lovers about your art and your classes.  The amount of compliments I have from people about my work just makes me stand tall and proud and I owe it to you and  your teachings.  I will be back for more inspiration"

Ann is amazing!! My creative side was getting so frustrated and then one of Ann's workshops gave me a love for a medium I didn't even know existed and now love! Truly talented and an awesome teacher. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone but get in quick those classes fill up!!

Charmaine

I was a complete novice when I joined Ann's art class but over the past 2 years I have discovered my creative side. Ann is always on hand to provide guidance on colour, techniques and choices of images. There is a warm welcome in her studio and she is very generous with her time and positive feedback. Classes are fun and relaxed with great music.

Each term takes you on a journey of learning new techniques leaving you with a real sense of achievement. Ann's classes opened a world of observation, I now see light, shadow and colour everywhere. The classes are pure joy.

Dianne

I had always wanted to try painting but was too scared even to try. I thought I would make a fool of myself! Three years ago I bit the bullet and signed up for a course with Ann. What a fantastic artist and teacher she is. I am astounded by the paintings I produce. Classes are relaxed and fun and Ann is always on hand to encourage and guide.

Fiona

You are a talented artist with a strong intuition for teaching. You always put me back on track when I lose my way in a painting. You have a solid knowledge and understanding of colour, always helping with pastel selection. Spending time in your classes, in your inspiring studio and enjoying your humorous dialogue makes Tuesday night a special time in the week to look forward to.
