Student Recommendations:

     “I took my very first painting class with Kelly Arnold, and it was an incredible experience. She guided me through painting a portrait of my grandchildren with patience and encouragement. Her teaching made the process approachable while still helping me learn real techniques. I’m so proud of my first painting and highly recommend Kelly Arnold to anyone wanting to learn art.” ” - Connie Anderson, Palm Beach Gardens, FL

     “I’m an 85 year old woman who recently took up art lessons. I was fortunate enough to get a wonderful instructor, Kelly Arnold. She is not only a super artist, but a great teacher as well. Kelly has other skills too, such as showing kindness in correcting a mistake, and knowing each person’s sensitivity. She works well with seniors as well as children. I am so lucky, first time out, to have Kelly! ” - Lois O’Connor, Sand Hill Cove, Palm City, FL

     “Kelly Arnold is a dream teacher from a proprietor's point of view. Not only is she an extremely talented artist and teacher, but she is also a very kind, giving and helpful person! (She has helped our store associates on many occasions!) We have witnessed the vast improve-ment of her students' abilities... They've become phenomenal artists! And that's why they keep coming back to her classes. She's a kind and awesome teacher! ” - Dawn J. Co-manager, Easel Art Supply, Lake Park, FL

     “Having just begun my artistic journey, Kelly has been instrumental in getting me to the next level. Putting art concepts in terms that are easy to understand, she teaches you color theory, perspective and finding your own voice in a sea of art, all while actually painting! Her classes are multi-dimensional and very supportive to fledgling painters and pros alike. If you’re on the fence about joining a class or one-on-one instruction, you won’t regret joining, you’re guaranteed to go home having learned something and having at least started your next great work of art. She is warm, personable and has a great sense of humor. ” - Karyn Cantrell, Palm City, FL

     “Kelly is an outstanding art teacher (and artist!). I have learned so much from her over the past ten years. In her group classes, each student works on a project of their own choosing. She has helped me with a variety of projects, including drawing, watercolor and oil painting, website design, a mural, dress design and photography. The class atmosphere is low pressure, supportive and fun. I highly recommend her! ” - Wendy Keller, Palm City, FL

     “I have been taking weekly, private art classes with Kelly for the last 18 months. Not only is Kelly incredibly talented and accomplished as an artist, she is also a consummate professional in a business sense. My art skills and knowledge of the art world have increased much quicker with Kelly than I believe they would have with another instructor. I highly recommend Kelly as a teacher. ” - Heather Safrit, West Palm Beach, FL

     “I cannot recommend Kelly’s art classes highly enough. My 91-year-old mother and her helper attend weekly lessons with Kelly, and the experience has been truly invaluable. Kelly’s patience, insight, and encouragement shine through in every class, making it a warm and welcoming space for all learners. The range of mediums she offers—from watercolor and acrylic to clay—keeps the sessions fresh and engaging. Kelly meets each student where they are, offering gentle guidance that makes the creative process both accessible and rewarding, even for those with memory challenges. I personally took watercolor and oil painting lessons with Kelly a couple of years ago and can attest to how much I learned and how enjoyable the experience was. The studio in Port Salerno is comfortable, accessible, and a joy to spend time in, with a supportive group of fellow students who add to the atmosphere. Kelly has created more than just an art class—she has fostered a community where creativity and connection flourish. ” - Jen Segal, Jupiter, FL

     “Kelly Arnold is an outstanding multitalented artist... what puts her in the highest category is that she is an outstanding teacher... she can teach all age groups and many mediums... she gently brings out the best in her students. ” - Laura DeBerard, Stuart, FL

     “Kelly is a skilled artist and a patient teacher who helped me as a beginner identify what I was interested in painting and helped me go beyond what I thought I could do. She is always positive even when providing constructive criticism and her enthusiasm for art is contagious. ” - Joe Pfrommer, Palm Beach Gardens, FL

     “If you are lucky enough to work with Kelly Arnold. Then you are indeed lucky. She is an amazing artist. In many art forms. Best of all as a teacher. She is very sharing of her knowledge. ” - Buzzy August, North Palm Beach, FL

     “Kelly is the best teacher I could ever ask for. She is very good at what she does. ” - Bradley King, Sewall’s Point, FL

     “Kelly is an exceptionally talented artist, with mastery across many techniques and mediums. What makes her a remarkable teacher is not only her depth of knowledge but the way she shares it with such generosity and clarity. She is always attentive, able to recognize exactly what you need to grow as an artist. Out of the blue, she’ll hand you a tool, suggest a new approach, or send you a link that sparks inspiration and opens new possibilities. She even takes the time to make the studio feel personally equipped — setting out boards, trash bags, a mahl stick, even portable sinks — so that every student has what they need to focus fully on creating. Kelly’s thoughtful preparation and intuitive guidance make her classes a space where art truly flourishes. Learning from her is both a gift and a joy. ” - Catherine Zanghi, Boynton Beach, FL

     “Kelly is a wonderfully talented artist and art teacher. She is able to instruct all ages, abilities, and mediums. She has an arsenal of tools and techniques to share with her students. She continues to work and grow as an artist herself, therefore, so do her students. Lucky us! ” - Lori Bradfield, Student, Art Travel Buddy, Friend

     “Kelly gives each of her students personal attention and she is able to explain methods, techniques and ideas three or four different ways until she sees the light bulb go off in your head! ” - Larry Lavargna, Palm City, FL

     “Kelly has a unique gift with her combination of artistic talent, technical skills and experience to connect with people of all ages. She brings out in them their own unique abilities, allowing them to be challenged, yet not overwhelmed, no matter the subject, medium or their own skill level. She is the ultimate teacher. “ - Susan Roberts www.TurtleLady.com

“One of the many wonderful things about Kelly, is that she is “one stop shopping” for an art instructor. I found that many instructors teach only one medium, but not Kelly. My daughters have learned everything from drawing, painting, photoshop to even doll making over the years. If there is an art form you want to learn and experience, chances are, Kelly can teach it to you. “ - Michelle Pray (mother of Mia and Tessa Pray)
