"Abena’s teaching allows for critical thinking; her patience and listening skills brings out my philomath addiction and existing creative method in my madness for art form. I experiment weekly with natural teas, pigments, spices and herbs that result in  surprisingly visual variables... I think Abena has something very special to offer anyone who has the privilege of her instruction." ~Monica Bristol (completed Pigment Exploration course virtually, Garfield Park Conservatory)
