Guests come to Painting with a Twist to drink wine, have a good time with their friends and paint. That’s the “twist” part of Painting with a Twist — it’s not about the art. It’s about the experience.
As an Artist/Floor Artist, I instruct classes and assist other stage artists in an entertaining environment where customers gather and mingle. I instruct 2 hour and 3 hour classes.

Virtual ClassES
Virtual Classes Based in Richmond, Virginia
throughout this year and last year I have been TEACHing 1 hour paint workshops to the Youth Ambassador Squad (YAS) from THE HIVE .
EACH CLASS CORRESPONDed TO A CERTAIN TOPIC OF THE MONTH.
in February I taught a Portrait Class around the idea of “Loving Our Blackness”
IN March I taught an abstract workshop around the topic of “Your Health is Your Wealth”
IN may I taught paint pours for “Stopping the Stigma”
I also taught many other Paint Lessons that revolved around the topics of mental Health.
As a child I took multiple classes at the Visual Arts Center and at 16 years old I began one of my most memorable volunteer opportunities.
I worked at the Visual Arts Center as an ArtVenture Summer Program Assistance during an 11-week schedule that included more than 170 weeklong workshops. During that time I worked alongside teachers in different workshop classes as a mentor and student-teacher.
This experience allowed me to see the beauty of youth art and development. I picked up on many teaching and art skills that summer; class scheduling, icebreakers, sewing, stained glass collaging, character illustrating, robotics, sculpting, pottery, and being a mentor.
