"Helen has come home absolutely buzzing with excitement. You have genuinely inspired her with your knowledge and enthusiasm and the 'light bulb' has been well and truly switched 'on'. I honestly think that she has been moved and affected by what she has seen in a way I could not hope to have inspired. What a terrific gift you all must have - we are so grateful to you. So nice for a parent who has been trying for years to transmit the sort of excitement about art which you have with no apparent result, maybe some of it rubbed off but all credit to AHA."
Anne Lever, mother of Helen, Summer 2005
