Experienced tutor in Drawing in Norfolk, Meryl Ann offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

My son has been taking art classes with Meryl Ann for a year now. His skill level, eye for detail and perspective, and passion for drawing and painting have skyrocketed since joining her classes. Thank you Meryl Ann!

Meryl Ann Butler is an amazing teacher and because of her and her classes at Ocean View Arts, I have learned how to see and through that seeing, I can now create things of visual and tactile beauty.

As a teacher, Meryl Ann can correct errant ways in a manner that cuddles a possibly fragile ego without coddling it. She is direct and supportive and so very knowledgeable. Knowledge which she imparts with an underlayer of joyful energy that makes listening to her a fascinating pleasure.

Because she taught me how to see, not just how to draw, I can now see myself with loving eyes. Because of this I am coming into my own true self as an artistic, creative being and discovering the joy of that little girl who loved to draw and create stuff!

Meryl Ann teaches the basics of art. At the same time, I was able to produce realistic art. The classes are small and her individual attention is most gratifying. Anyone with a will to learn will prosper under her guidance.

The environment is great , relaxed an comfortable place to learn, Meryl Ann is an amazing teacher an shares so much more knowledge than just art, I was not intimidated being a newby that had never taken art.

Meryl Ann Is a terrific teacher! I knew nothing, absolutely nothing about drawing and she helped me create a beautiful piece of art that’s very meaningful to me. She did it in a step-by-step, fun and relaxing way. Meryl Ann teaches in the method of classical art and with these techniques you can go on to do anything. The best part is I was able to create something that I really love and have proudly hung on my wall.

Meryl Ann is so helpful and patience with you while you are learning a new skill. Art classes and quilting classes are my favorite.
