Alma

Howdy Ya’ll, I am Alma. I am so happy and honored to call Hawai’i my home. I was born and raised in Texas, and lived the last 19 years in San Antonio. GO SPURS GO!! Yes, I am a fan of basketball, baseball, hockey, foootieball, but I can’t play worth a lick! HA! But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying sports. It is a dream of mine to see and be apart of an Olympic crowd cheering on USA teams. That would be a thrill of a lifetime! I am a kindergarten teacher in the Leeward District and I love what I do. I love to teach little people and big people too! My degrees include Associates in Education in Art, Bachelors in Indisciplinary Studies with a specialization in Early Childhood Education and a Masters degree in Educational Leadership. Long story short, I love to paint, music and good vibes! Come join me and lets pick up our brushes and CHEEEEHOO let’s paint ya’ll!

Jordyn

Jordyn grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and then ventured to north Louisiana to hone her creative skills at Louisiana Tech University. In 2014 she graduated with Bachelor’s degrees in both Studio Art and Communication Design. She loves people, hence her love for drawing and painting the human figure and portraits. She also favors using charcoal and oil paints, and enjoys incorporating fun technology like vinyl or laser cutting into her projects. After college she taught drawing classes at Walt Disney World (which was magical!) and then taught painting at a Painting With A Twist in Louisiana. Now's she's with PWAT again, here in Hawaii, and is very excited for the opportunity to help people create more art. She is an upbeat and encouraging person who hopes she can help you have fun and take home a painting you will cherish!

Kileigh

ALOOOOHA!!! My name is Kileigh (pronounced Kai-lee), and I am a painter, golfer, singer, huge pepperoni pizza lover, and the immensely proud mother of a 2 year old mini-lop bunny. In my free time I like to paint beaches, landscapes, and geometric art...and watch a lot of Netflix. If you know any good TV series I can get into, please let me know. I am originally from Ocoee, Tennessee where I grew up on a goat farm, so if you need help wrangling goats (aka dragging them by the horns) or chasing down chickens, don't call me but just know that I do know how to do those things. I live on the West Side of O'ahu (WEST SIDE, BEST SIDE) and am also a licensed secondary education art teacher. I graduated with a degree in Communications and Studio Art from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and I also have a Master's degree in Education from Johns Hopkins...so basically, teaching is my jam and I love painting!!! If you paint with me, we'll put our own unique "twist" on our paintings together :) Check out my IG for a little more about me and what I create

M!tch

Hey y’all! I’m Mitch! I’m a semi-young creative nomad who is always looking for a twist. My favorite color is plaid. In my free time I like watching cheerleading fails and bouncing water off my butt cheeks! Kidding, but it sounds like a great time. Haven’t spent more than 3 to 5 years in the same place twice. There’s so much to see and do. I’m having the best time ever! I’ve always thought outside the box, been outside the box.. apparently, there’s this box and I just don’t fit in it.. Come paint with us! Make good choices!
