Kay Jamieson reviewed: Awaken Creativity - discovering or recovering your artist self. Art in Suffolk

"This creative session with Jane took place online, during Covid. After so many months of feeling isolated it was wonderful to join together with others to be creative. Although we were all dotted around the world, Jane. had a wonderful way of bringing us all together to share, and making us feel 'safe' to express our own unique and distinct creativity in the session. I felt a little anxious beforehand as I hadn't been creative with art for many decades, but Jane talked us all through then steps and gave us a perfect balance of 'instruction' alongside freedom for self expression. The time passed so quickly, and I was surprised to see what emerged on the paper, which gave me joy! I realised afterwards that I hadn't thought about anything else for several hours, as I had been totally absorbed in playful expression, allowing my subconscious self to be my 'guide'. Highly enjoyable and also therapeutic, learning to trust the side of me that I can't always plan and control! Thanks, Jane. Kay "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Thanks Kay., great to hear the session had such a positive benefit for you. It was super to see you relaxing into the activities and watch both you and your son producing such expressive and unique artwork. "

"I really loved the time with Jane in her beautiful countryside home. My friend and I enjoyed warmth, encouragement and amazing homemade scones! I became really involved playing with different media and combining the created with the found. There was a clear framework to each task which enabled open thinking and experimentation. The afternoon flew by. "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Ally...I still remember your ability to dive into rich experimenting with such energy. It really inspired me. And it's been so exviting to see your own art practice go from strength to strength. Enjoy the journey !"

Yvonne Innes reviewed: Awaken Creativity - discovering or recovering your artist self. Art in Suffolk

"One of Jane’s Collage and Cream Tea sessions was my birthday present to myself. I was already a fan of Jane’s work but I had been personally stuck creatively for a long while, so I walked in under a bit of a cloud. Two and a half hours later I came out totally at ease and happy to have met such an inspiring person whose infectious warmth and enthusiasm plus a huge array of materials to use enabled me to start thinking creatively again. If her aim is to make you feel good about your work and about yourself she succeeds like nothing else could. "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"It was a joy to see how you embraced the whole experience Yvonne and let yourself fall in to your natural creativity. "

"''If you've always wanted to be an artist but lack the courage to jump in and get started or if you've started and are always overcome by doubts, Jane is the perfect person to set you on your way. Not only can Jane sympathise, she possesses the utmost conviction that takes you beyond your doubts and enables you to create the images you want and, of most importance, to have fun while creating your own work.'' "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Thank you so much Gillian. It was wonderful having an experienced artist like yourself in the workshop. Your collaged sea scape inspired me "

Helen Stacey reviewed: Awaken Creativity - discovering or recovering your artist self. Art in Suffolk

"What a joy is is to work with Jane - such a talented, warm inspiring artist. Jane's enthusiasm for her craft is infectious. She puts her tutees at ease ever so quickly and comes alongside them to share her expertise and encouragement. This leads to tutees like me creating pieces that have been fun and surprising to produce, and very satisfying. She is an adventurer who leads others into explorations of new worlds, and sees you through moments of risk-taking in your creative life with passion and support. I can't wait to work with her again!"

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Hi Helen - Many thanks for your lovely feedback. To be honest, every session challenges me too....to keep taking risks and to trust my own inner creative journey. "

Sara Sarre reviewed: Awaken Creativity - discovering or recovering your artist self. Art in Suffolk

"Jane's courses are a wonderful experience. I did a collage workshop with Jane after not painting for several years and I didn't know where to start. Jane encouraged me to be brave. She taught me to 'see' creatively again. Not only did I walk away with three pieces of work, I felt my confidence was restored. I'm definitely signing up for more next year – Jane is a natural teacher and a great painter. "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Hi Sara - this is such a wonderful heart-warming response... thank you. I hugely enjoyed the workshop too. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. "
