The Beverley Street Studio School from the start through today has been a source of continuing inspiration to me in the pursuit and enjoyment of art and painting. No better proof exists of its value to me than the fact that 25 years later I am still taking classes and still learning.

BSSS is truly a beneficial addition to the community and to each artist who participates in the unique and diverse programs. There are very few organizations that can compare to BSSS.
