Da'Vyne M.

Da’Vyne has had an eye for capturing the human form since she was young, expressing her love for art and divinity through portraiture. This has allowed her to connect with herself and her community to reflect the beauty and power that lies within all of us. She understands that creation comes from within and that we are all natural artists at heart. Since making mistakes is a part of life, and art imitates life, why not make creating an ADVENTURE? Her statement is to keep growing, and encourages all people to delve into whatever medium finds them - even if that is acrylic paint and wine at Painting With A Twist!

Farah T.

Although she graduated from Webster University with a BFA in graphic design, Farah still enjoys the traditional feel of a paint brush in her hand. She has a passion for traveling, food, and new experiences. She strives to capture these weird, mysterious, fleeting moments of life in her personal paintings..."especially the time when she worked with goat organs in the name of art." Farah is happy to help you create your masterpiece!
