What former students have said about me:

I loved Summer as a teacher! Her blend of thoughtful instruction, genuine encouragement and sense of fun empowered everyone in the class to discover and create with great freedom while gaining new skills and perspectives on art...Can't recommend them highly enough!

Simply put, Summer Pierre is a terrific teacher. When I signed up for her class, I was in the midst of learning to draw at the ripe old age of 67. (Since then I've turned 68.) I told her my drawing skills were rudimentary. "No problem", she replied. And it wasn't.  Her classes are well organized...and her enthusiasm and encouragement are infectious. 

-John D.

Summer brings so much fun and warmth to the classroom, it's almost as if you only realize afterward that -- through some keen sleight of hand -- she has imparted valuable lessons and guidance. Her depth of knowledge is a great asset and her commitment and passion for comics is contagious.
