ANGELA KIMBLE

Host Artist

Greetings! I have always been creative and enjoyed art, but started painting abstract art with acrylics on canvas in 2006. After a few years, I began to instruct painting classes, teaching children and adults. Through creating art and teaching art, I have learned that when we create art our soul is speaking and EVERYONE is an Artist! Art can communicate information, shape our everyday lives, make a social statement and be enjoyed for aesthetic beauty!

Coach Kristin

Host Artist

Hi, I'm Coach Kristin and I am here to coach you on how to paint. I see PaintNight as a mental health night. Relax, grab a drink, let go of your troubles and let’s have some fun! I love to see how everyone’s painting is different and is an expression of their inner self. Everyone is an artist! So come, join me in playing with some paint, enjoy the journey and make memories one brush stroke at a time.

Pick easier items to paint and avoid days when it’s really windy if doing it outside
