My name is Hope Kieffer. I can't wait to meet you!

I've been painting custom professional pet commissions for 3 years, and I'm a huge animal lover! I've enjoyed art and pets my whole life, and eventually those loves came together in the form of creating my classes.

    The teacher was well organized, articulate, and kept a great pace even for beginners like me! She was helpful even though we were all painting different pets!

    This is a fantastic Dabble experience! My fiance and I really enjoyed learning how to paint our fur-babies, and it was great to see the creations of the rest of the group. Hope and her team is also very helpful to help fix any painting mishaps.

She even had time to walk around and help everyone's individual needs. Weather you are an expert or novice this class is for you. Had a lot of fun mixing colors and trying out some of my own ideas to really make it a personal experience and painting. Very happy with my out come and look forward to future classes.

Hope was thorough and clear in her instructions and we had pictures we were proud of (and frankly amazed that we had managed to paint!) by the end of the class!

    I have attended 2 Paint your Pet classes with Hope the awesome art instructor. The first time I didnt know what I was doing but Hope is right there for you and all the other people painting (some were even Art Majors in school) will help too if you want it. I was in awe when I finally finished. It turned out great!!! The next month I signed up again and painted my horse. This time I was much better at it but still got help when I needed it. I will continue to go everytime she has ‘Paint Your Pet’. I am going to paint every animal I owned plus the ones I have now. Hanging them all over the house instead of buying pictures cause its so cute having the Pets I Painted hanging all over the house!!! It is soooo much fun!!!! As well as relaxing!!

    I enjoyed this fun class very much. Hope, the teacher was very positive and responsive given her time constraints. She had assistants so that really helped when participants just needed their supplies replenished. I am not particularly artistic but with her clear instructions I think I finished with a very satisfactory painting of one of my dogs. I thought the class was very reasonably priced considering all you received, and I would definitely do this class again.
