Catherine has received many letters of appreciation over the past 15 years ranging from students aged 4 to 18.  She has also received numerous thank you letters from teachers which whom Catherine provided visual arts professional development for.  Here are just few of the letters. 

- Dear Ms. Farquhar,
Thank your for taking the time to come and teach us about art, in support of our Community Helpers theme for social studies.  Thank you also for going to the extra work of bringing art materials and equipment with you.  Most of us have never used palette knives or worked with gel medium to give our paintings texture.  We loved that you read "Camille and The Sunflower" to introduce Vincent van Gogh to us. It was wonderful that you were able to include so many elements of art and curriculum expectations in one, really fun art lesson! Showing us really tweaked our imaginations and helped us to better understand what you do.  It is really important for us to know that with the right exposure and training, we are all capable of creating something beautiful!
​- Thank you from Mrs. Hart's class!
