Focusing on relaxing, enjoyment and all around fun, our events are meant to help you take a break from your life. Hi everyone! I’ve been teaching Paint Nite events since August 2016. I’ve had the pleasure of hosting over 300 in person events, and over 500 virtual events, ranging from public to private parties! From helping moms make birthday parties memorable, to being a third wheel on some pandemic themed date nights, I have found so much happiness in sharing art with my guests!
I have two goals in my events: learning and relaxation! Having taught adults and children for almost ten years, I love to emphasize the fun in learning.  My events are meant to provide everyone with a calm, supportive and fun atmosphere to engage as much – or as little – as you want while we take each painting step by step. Whether you’re feeling chatty or would prefer to stay muted, I want everyone to feel comfortable as we take on a common challenge!

About Me

Watson is 5 years old, and a whopping fifteen pounds! My very handsome assistant, and Mama's Boy, is an essential member of our team. From knocking over water cups and walking across the table during an event, Watson has it covered! Everyone's favorite little interruption, come hang out with Chunk at almost all of our events! (Unless he is sleeping...)

Acrylic paint in the following colors: Red, Yellow, Blue, Black and White.

Paint brushes in varying sizes from large to small

Duration

Events range from an hour and a half to three hours and the times are listed in each event.
