I absolutely adore your work for many reasons, love your use of colour and how you can create so much from just splashes of colour and added design. Your narration and happy presentation is truly inspiring, I can’t wait to see new posts from you whenever I am on YouTube. Keep doing exactly what you are doing… Because your channel is a happy place to be! Love love love
Jay R.

I love watching your videos because you are so free and loving. I need that because I tend to tense up sometimes when painting and I put on one of your videos and they remind me that mistakes aren’t a big deal. They can be worked into the painting and the world keeps moving. xx

Mimi I can’t wait to see your new book as I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw you on Youtube. I love the beautiful bright colors that you use as they do brighten everyone’s day. How can you not be happy, right? Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with the rest of us. I know everyone can’t wait to see your next painting!
