I love to impart to my students, of all ages, the love I have for the Visual Arts. Thank you all for the support and kind words you have given me through out the years. ——Leyla Monica Demirtas
Hi Leyla,
I’ve been thinking of you and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your hard work and dedication. Kayla always enjoyed being part of clay club and loved the days that she had art. We have the rainbow with the word “hope” that Noah made with you hanging on our window. Thank you for always bringing out my children’s creative side. ——- Daniella L. (daughter, Kayla & son, Noam)

Thank you, Leyla!! You pivoted immediately when we went down, and the kids didn’t miss a moment. Ayden truly loved working with you and seeing his friends on Fridays. Thank you for everything you put into our kids. It is amazing!!! Gratefully, Meryl ——— Meryl D. (son, Ayden & daughter, Nili)

Hi Ms. Demirtas,
Thank you so much for fostering both my kids’ love of art. They really enjoyed your classes so much and looked forward to them each week! Zachary hated what he called “projects” in preschool (before he took your art classes) and now he loves to create! There were so many cool options in your classes from clay to ceramics to painting...! Ayla always loved all things art and proudly showed off her artistic creations! Again, thank you for being the wonderful art teacher you are! My kids are lucky to have you as their educator!
Warmest Regards, Esther —-Esther J. (daughter, Ayla & son, Zachary)
