Thanks to Ms. Preston’s guidance as an instructor I was able to create a portfolio that earned a scholarship at my top choice college. Her expertise in accurately representing human figures as well as conceptual application has stuck with me in my professional career and has helped me excel as an artist.

Ms. Preston has a wonderful balance of nurturing her students’ passion for art while teaching them solid art techniques. My Daughter’s classes with her gave the foundation she needed to apply and be accepted to the most competitive arts high schools in Miami. She continues to grow and have a genuine love of art. Thank you Ms. Preston!

Andrea Preston has been one of my most influential art teachers and I’ve accomplished so much because of what I’ve learned as her student. I learned to be more confident in my abilities as an artist and saw immense growth in my artwork. To this day I still think back to what she has taught me. I graduated High School with scholarships to many different art institutions and I’m now in my Junior year at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. I have also interned with the Rubell Family collection and just recently Interned with the Curator of the Prints, Drawings and Photographs at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Currently I am working towards a position at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Without Andrea pushing me as an artist I don’t think I’d be where I am today
