"My kids started online art classes with Jess during the first period of lock down. Her classes have helped us so much, my kids have now developed a passion for art and much more confidence in their own ability. Jess is a fantastic teacher, so encouraging of everyone and always positive. With each class my kids have enjoyed learning new techniques, meeting new people, and having so much fun. I highly recommend art classes at The Joy Ave Studio"

"I really like doing your classes because you go at a nice, slow pace and you look at every ones work as they go, waiting till we are ready to move on. I’ve loved all the art I’ve done with you and am very proud of my work. Thanks Jess".

"I love doing classes with you because you are a really good artist and I want to grow up and write stories and draw pictures to go with them. My favourite class was the water colour techniques because I learnt lots of new tricks with water colour paints".

"Jacinta and I were very impressed with Jessica's class, her mannerisms, patience, friendliness, privacy policy and value for money after Jacinta's first class, so I continued to register Jacinta for a few more classes, when she could attend.
Jacinta stated she thoroughly enjoys Jessica's classes, she is learning so many new techniques and ideas. Her dream is to be an artist and we highly recommend Jessica Harris from "The Joy Avenue Studio", as a starting point for any young artists out there, who want to fulfill their dream, like Jacinta".
