Hi painters! I am from Toronto, Canada, and I moved to Atlanta when I was three years old. In my downtime, I enjoy my cats, create art, and explore the outdoors. I have a background in Psychology and Human Resources, but I have been an artist my whole life because it helps me feel connected to my creative side! My favorite thing about teaching art is how it helps everyone feel more connected and confident as painters as well. I hope the studio is an enriching environment for you to feel inspired to create your art too!
Hello! My name is tasnia. But Tas is good for short. I am a Bengali American who’s lived in Atlanta their whole life! I have three cats who accompany me for all my artist needs. I have a little brother who means the world to me who too enjoys art! I have drawn my whole life. My art is made up of things of imagination and all my favorite cartoons. I enjoy paint, and polymer clay! You can find me on a sunny day painting a canvas over and over or in a text book for school! Can’t wait to paint with you!
Getting outside is good for the soul. Through my artwork, I try to bring the outside in and leave the boundaries. Everything is captured in the spontaneous dance and movement of the brush and the solidity of clay. My art is about the resonance of the organic and geometric. I have been drawing and painting professionally for twenty plus years and I have associated with art as long as I can remember. Custom art work is my specialty. The unique combination of wood and clay,creating personalized art that captures the imagination to discover beauty in unusual places, is my kind of art.
Hi there! My name is Ria and I’ve lived in Georgia my whole life, and Atlanta for 5 years! I’ve been doing art for as long as I can remember, and have continued to pursue it throughout the years . In high school, I discovered digital art and knew I loved it immediately. I attended SCAD ATL to get my degree in Graphic Design and Motion Media, but hands-on art is where I really shine! I love embroidery, clay sculpting, drawing, 3D modeling, decoden, resin, baking, and of course, painting! I’ve been doing acrylic painting since I was in middle school and my love for it has only grown as I have. Painting with a Twist has given me the opportunity to share this passion with others while showing people painting so much easier than you think! One of my favorite things about art is how different everyone’s art can look even if we are all using the same reference! My goal is that you leave my class with great memories, some good laughs, and unique painting that showcases you as a person and an artist. I love to listen a lot and I love to talk a lot, so if you’re an introvert, I’ll do all the talking for you! And if you’re a fellow extrovert with stories and jokes to share, I’m all ears! I look forward to painting with you, and hope to see you soon!! <333
Hi artist! I am Briana, Bri for short. I was born and raised right here in Atlanta and I have my BFA from The Illustrious Savannah State University. As an artist I like to view life through all angles, by seeing the bigger picture and the smaller details in every situation. Whenever I find myself in a situation where I don’t quite feel like myself or I’m upset about something, I always pull back and look at the bigger picture. Other times when I find myself feeling overwhelmed or overlooking anything, I always zoom into the smaller details. Not only has art taught me this but it has also helped in my belief that everything happens for you and not to you. Like when you “make a mistake” while painting, taking a photo, acting, or even doing normal daily activities, in the end that “mistake” was meant to happen which leads you to unexpected beauty and happiness.
