Elizabeth has been painting and drawing since she can remember. She was born and raised in NY and moved to the Carolinas when she was 12 years old. As a child she loved drawing pictures of her pets and sketching pictures from her National Geographic magazines. She preferred watching Bob Ross over Saturday morning cartoons. Elizabeth is a self taught artist and has honed her craft over the years and even started her own pet portrait business called Pawtraitz!

My name is Loren, and I have an Associate in Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Painting. I have loved art since I was a little girl and I have always dreamed of being an artist. I love all forms of art from painting to graphic design. I do photography on the side in my free time and I love working with new people and showing them how fun art can be! I have dreams of traveling all around the world. I have traveled to Paris and Barcelona where I got to see some of the most iconic pieces of art such as the Mona Lisa. My all time favorite artists are Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol.

Abby was born and raised in western Pennsylvania where her love for art and horses started. After graduating from The University of Findlay she took a job teaching art at Parkwood High School in Monroe, NC where she loves teaching students the joys of art.
