“When I was a kid, I loved to draw and paint. As I got older, I became interested in music. I took lessons and played guitar for 15 years. I became frustrated and disenchanted with my lack of music ability. One day I saw a brochure from Audrey advertising drawing classes. My frustration was painful, so I decided to take a class and see if Audrey could help me find a new love in art instead. She analyzed a quick drawing, told me she thought she could help, and within an hour I had not only drastically improved… I was addicted! Since then, I have been working in many mediums. People have started referring to me as an “artist”. I love it and I can’t get enough!” Markus Pope
