Although I live in Georgia, whenever I’m in Cedar Rapids I make sure I visit DKW Gallery which has some of the highest quality artwork I have found anywhere. Deb and her husband run an excellent gallery and in particular, Deb‘s work is fantastic. I recently ordered yet another pet portrait from her and it was like the first, beautifully done and fun to have.
I loved the class and would highly recommend them—seriously, I’m already plotting which one to take next (and probably the one after that too). The atmosphere was welcoming, and the instructor was encouraging, which was nice since I was having an off day with my own painting skills.My only tiny suggestion? It’d be super helpful if the class descriptions mentioned whether they’re for beginners, advanced folks, or all levels. It took me a bit to finally sign up because I wasn’t sure if I’d be in over my head. Thankfully, it was totally all skill levels-friendly—but I had a mini heart attack thinking I might accidentally wander into a “Master Ninja” level class.😅
Mark and Deb did a great job hosting this event! They were very nice to reach out to and being flexible about set up times. Then the day of the event, the map showed where to go and refreshments were offered. They really care about everyone having a good time. The booth fee was small and there was a decent amount of footraffic from a nearby festival. Overall I felt very good being a vendor to this event and the hosts did a great job!
I appreciate the knowledge, skill, and creativity that the people at DKW have and how they share it with the community. I've taken my kid there for various lessons and classes, as well as a Girl Scout troop, and all involved had a wonderful time.My child has had great experiences learning from Deb at DKW and comes home excited (teenage excitement so nothing too over the top) with the new techniques and skills he's gained. The environment is also very warm, welcoming, and friendly. My kid never wants to skip a class there and really enjoys the variety of art styles and methods that he can learn through them.
