I cannot recommend Tanzina enough. She is incredibly talented, patient, kind, and compassionate, and she creates such a positive and inspiring environment for learning. Her passion for art shines through in every lesson, and she has a beautiful ability to encourage creativity while making every student feel supported and confident.

She has a wonderful ability to work with both adults and children, meeting each person exactly where they are in their creative journey. Whether teaching beginners or more experienced artists, she makes everyone feel comfortable, encouraged, and inspired to express themselves freely through art. What truly sets Tanzina apart is the energy she brings — calm, uplifting, and genuinely caring. She takes the time to understand each person’s unique style and pace, and she teaches with both skill and heart.

In addition to her art offerings, her Reiki sessions were an immense source of support for me during a very difficult moment in my life. Her gentle presence, intuition, and healing energy helped me feel grounded, comforted, and emotionally supported when I needed it most. The care and compassion she brings to both her art and healing work are truly special. Working with her has been an amazing experience, both creatively and personally, and I am deeply grateful for everything she has shared.

I have had the great fortune of being in several of Tanzina's classes in Visual Arts Mississauga. She is an amazing artist... and, just as important , a wonderful teacher. She is so supportive and encouraging. I particularly enjoyed the coloured handouts she provided each class to help us remember all the many techniques she taught us. I was quite surprised at how well my projects turned out. In fact, most of them are actually displayed in my home. All this in a positive, stress free environment with lots of laughs. 

I had the opportunity to have a few sessions with Tanzina after the cancer diagnosis, and her support through therapeutic art helped me tremendously. During such an overwhelming and anxious time, she created a calm and comforting space where I could express myself, slow down, and find moments of peace. Her gentle guidance and creative approach truly helped ease my anxiety and brought a sense of healing and emotional balance. I’m deeply grateful for her kindness, patience, and support during that difficult period.

Tanzina, is an amazing artist and a great person. I have taken her workshops as well as her art classes, she’s a patient and well prepared teacher. She makes everything so simple to understand and create. I give her 5 Stars!!!!

Taking classes with Tanzina has been an incredibly rewarding experience. She fosters a welcoming, collaborative environment that encourages you to develop your own unique style. Her gentle and constructive feedback pushes you to grow. Highly recommended!

Tanzina Amin is an incredibly talented artist who has made a wonderful impact on my daughter’s artistic journey. What I appreciate most is that she not only teaches techniques and fundamentals but also encourages each student to develop their own unique style and creative voice. Rather than expecting everyone to draw the same way, she helps students understand different artistic concepts while giving them the freedom to express their own ideas and imagination.

My daughter truly enjoyed learning from her and gained both skills and confidence through her guidance. Tanzina’s patience, encouragement, and passion for art create a positive and inspiring learning environment for young artists.

Thank you, Tanzina, for nurturing creativity and helping students grow as artists.

I have participated in several of Tanzina’s art courses over the years through VAM.  As an instructor, Tanzina shares her vast knowledge with enthusiasm and a passion for the arts that is contagious.  She is kind and compassionate, always taking time with each student, to critique, support and encourage.  I come away from each of Tanzina’s sessions feeling like I have accomplished something, acquired or improved a skill/technique, and with a little more confidence.   

I had the pleasure of knowing Tanzina while we were looking for an art gallary to host my 6 year old girl with Rare condition to raise awareness for PACS1. She has been the kindest soul. She painted a portrait of my 2 girls that hangs in our family room. We love her as an artist and more importantly love her as a human being with a pure soul. Best wishes.

Tanzina Amin is a talented artist and an inspiring teacher. Even through online classes, Tanzina Amin created a warm and engaging learning environment. My daughter always looked forward to her lessons and enjoyed every session. We are grateful for the positive experience and for helping her develop a deeper appreciation for art.
