Your instructor Deb Wiles is a professional artist and teacher. She has been teaching since 2004. She spent much of her early childhood with her grandparents in their photography studio, so quite literally she has been involved in the production of art since infancy. She currently lives and breathes art and adores teaching both children and adults.
MY AIM WITH MARKS OF PERCEPTION is to foster creative development in the individual student, to the point where they are comfortable with themselves, and confident in their creative abilities. To do this, I teach new techniques as the student requires them. The techniques are then assimilated into the student’s skill set. Equipped with these techniques, the individual is able to render their perception of the world; and through practice, they produce what they desire to. As a consequence of this process, the individual gains confidence in their creativity, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment with their work.
Testimonials:
“I had always wanted to draw, and from time to time I picked up a pencil and tried it, with very limited results. This winter I had to good fortune to both have time off and to find a really talented teacher right under my nose, well, across the street from me. So armed with pencil and paper Deb took on the daunting ask of teaching me some of the rudiments of drawing. After four classes with her, I am not now, or am I likely to be, through no fault of Deb’s, destined to become a great artist but thanks to her I am longer afraid to put pencil to paper and as a result of this I look forward to countless hours of pure enjoyment creating art for my sake.” -Roy (adult student)
“I have a client who told me that she was looking to live more through her creativity and was disappointed and frustrated to find that art schools here in Toronto only wanted to teach her to paint like Rembrandt. She said she wanted to let her inner child play with art. I knew exactly who to recommend – Deb Wiles and her Marks of Perception Art School! My client met with Deb the next hour and knew it was the right thing for her. She signed up for a series of classes and is thrilled! Thanks, Deb, for making my client so happy and providing a caring little art school that offers the joy no one else does! – Tracey Thomas – Falconar – Anarres Natural Health
“We have used Deb Wiles for several Art Instruction sessions. I found her approach with our Seniors very professional and yet relaxed. Deb was flexible on programming, and adapted to the abilities and interests of the individuals present. It was a pleasure to meet her, and I would definitely recommend her services.”- Bethany Vallentin, Interim Social & Activation Director The Briton House Retirement Centre
