“It was a real pleasure working with Mr. Maichack. He provided images and text for press releases and flyers, set up the workshop area…cleaned up afterwards (this is not always the case with people I’ve hired for programs!). More than that, he is professional, friendly and eloquent and I was immediately confident of his abilities.”
— Susan M. Hansen, Teen Services Librarian, West Hartford Public Library, West Hartford, CT
“I have heard from numerous people that your workshop was a HUGE success — many are hoping for a return visit from you in the future!”

“If our patrons could have had their wishes, the Art of Pastel workshop would be meeting every week! The room was full of questions, laughter and enthusiasm…Mr. Maichack was also easy to work with from the programming point of view. He sent artwork for our newsletter, arrived early (!) and had the set-up and clean-up down to a science.”
— Maggie Holmes, Director, Richards Library, North Attleborough, MA
“He’s a talented teacher who clearly has a deep understanding and love of his subject…Finally, I see in the way his students relate to him that he is generous and has the ability to foster a community of artists in a very short period of time. I recommend him highly.”
