Bend Bluebirds

Fine artist, illustrator, art maestro and Bend native Stephen Teater began his career with Paint Nite while studying and teaching art in California. Now, with hundreds of events under his belt and over five years experience as a lead painting instructor, he's excited to bring his playful and entertaining approach to painting back home to the High Desert, presenting his highly sought-after events in Bend's coolest spaces. Stephen blends his light-hearted humor, uncanny wit and unique perspective with his formal art training to de-mystify and simplify the art of painting, fostering a fun-fueled environment in which painters of all stripes and experience levels can joyfully engage with their inner artist to make a masterpiece of their very own, while picking up some new skills and knowledge along the way. Bring your friends and family again and again to join in the hilarity and the joy of painting, and leave with an artwork of your making that's guaranteed to surprise you!
