She is a kind hearted teacher who truly guides those participating into an experience in the present moment.

“Desiree is the Real Deal. Intuitive, kind, patient, and encouraging. Her workshops are a blissful ocean of support, insight and practical art skills, filled with waves of grace and joy. I proudly display my paintings and feel so much happiness each time I see them. I was scared to death of "art" and thought I was unable to do it, but Des lovingly guided and walked with me through my fears and I am forever grateful for her workshops and for her presence in my life.”
