"Andrey has a unique way of mentoring: he knows how to meet people wherever they are - beginners, advanced - it does not matter. Because it’s not just about painting, it is about exploring who you are as an inner realm." Judith Schafman – PhD, gestalt therapist, artist, dreamworker
"As a result of studying with Andrey the way I see things has been transformed. As I look at the trees gently blowing in the wind it is like I see what is really going on underneath their skin: I see what moves them, what makes them alive." Marcus Dervin – IT professional
"Andrey is a teacher of creativity. The energy and creativity that are in him and his desire to share it with you are absolutely contagious and unique. I have never seen it in anybody else. And that ‘s what makes him a great teacher." Robert Raevsky – artist, illustrator, gallery owner
"What Andrey's incredible, articulate, passionate teaching gave me was the spirit or the guts to be able to create something that is not pretty. It doesn't have to be pretty - it has to be me!" Lynn Koutcher - dance and movement teacher
"I studied with Andrey for about 13 years. He was my first and only real art teacher. Andrey had a different kind of wisdom, different priorities and a different perspective than my all-American-progress-oriented parents. I will always remember his advice to "follow your own star, not somebody else's highway." " Charlotte Alter – Harvard University student
