Meades Art Studio 14524 Smithwood Drive, Centreville, VA 20120

"I just started taking lessons at Meades Art Studio and I am so glad I did! Margaret is a warm, caring person who clearly enjoys what she does. She is a wonderful teacher, for those with some experience and for complete novices (like me!). And the other students are fun, too, it's an inspiring, creative atmosphere."

"Margaret is an excellent teacher and mentor for any age! She can turn anyone into an amazing artist. Starting my second year with her! I highly recommend her studio."

"I have taken art lessons from Margaret Meade for the past 15 years. The reason I continue to join her art class is because there is always a new technique she employs in her class. She has an acute sense of looking at a work of art and immediately identifying what needs to be done to enhance the work. The end result is pleasing and everyone is amazed to witness how the smallest stroke of paint at a strategic place on the canvas can transform a painting into something wonderful and leave the artist with a great sense of accomplishment."

"I have been taking art lessons from Mrs Meade for past three years. She teaches one on one with intense interest. I have improved my art with her techniques in many different medias like acrylic,water colors, pastels and pencils. She challenges the art work by creating our own and not copying . My daughter started classes with her first and her significant improvement made me join Mead's art studio."

"My name is Barbara. My husband Richard discovered Margaret Meade's Art Studio on the Internet and surprised me with a gift of lessons. What a fabulous choice! Although I was a complete beginner, any anxiety I felt was immediately erased by Mrs. Meade's patience and enthusiasm. After teaching me many colored pencil techniques through example and helpful suggestions, I completed my first "masterpiece" and moved on to acrylics. I am now exploring pastels. Mrs. Meade is not only an expert artist but an amazingly gifted teacher. I eagerly anticipate my weekly class and would highly recommend this instructor to anyone who wishes to delve into the creative wonders of art. The class is suitable for both beginning and advanced artists."
