"Cockey brings with her an enthusiasm for painting that is indeed catching. The participants look forward to her classes with great anticipation. Each session is appropriately challenging, yet achievable for the residents. She inspires them. The end result is an expressiveness that often fills a void so common with the elderly."

—Donna Reid, Director of Development and Public Relations, Pickersgill Retirement Community
