People are saying:

Better than college

by Sara Delene Rogan

I cannot recommend this studio highly enough. Dori is so talented, patient, funny, helpful, and knowledgable. I minored in art in undergrad, but I learned exponentially more from Dori in just one year compared to my three years in undergrad. I always tell people that they might not think they can paint or draw, but Dori will teach you and help you make it happen. It's also an incredible stress reliever during the week. Dori knows her stuff extremely well, and it's an honor to learn from her.

Changed my life

Erin Hardin

Red Dot changed my life! The instructors are extremely experienced and great at helping students develop their talents and discover their own style while increasing their knowledge. I wish their were more stars to give Red Dot Gallery!

Didn't think I could paint

Lydia Waters Kirkland

I didn't think I would be able to paint well when I started, but now I have friends asking me to paint things for them! It has been a wonderful experience, you won't regret signing up.

I've tried other classes

Deeana Crider

I've been taking painting classes from Dori at Red Dot for the past few years now, and I can't believe how much my skills have improved with her help! I've tried other classes from other teachers over the years but never found a teacher I "clicked" with before. I highly recommend this gallery and their classes!
