Our Newark, DE Painting with a Twist Artists

Eileen G.

Born and raised in Delaware, Eileen is a University of Delaware alum with a B.A. in Art. She enjoys painting animals and creates pet portraits in her spare time. A fun fact about her is that she plays rugby and puts cilantro on everything. After craving a creative community again, she found the perfect fit at Painting with a Twist. Knowing that making art can feel vulnerable, Eileen strives to create a judgment-free zone in the art room. Her goal in every session is to share some laughs and send you home with a painting that reminds you of the great time you had here. She beleived the only way you can mess up at PWAT is by not having fun!

Jake G.

Jake believes that everyone is an artist, some people just practice more than others. His art education started, like everyone’s, in his highchair with fistfuls of pureed peas and carrots. He later studied Art and Music Education at Rowan University in his homeland of New Jersey. He has dabbled in a multitude of traditional and unconventional media and hopes to never stop finding new ways to produce art. Jake delights in empowering others' creativity and loves that at PWAT the power to create is just a brush stroke (and maybe a beverage or two) away. He strives to have every twister leave the studio with a creation they are proud of, a fresh dose of confidence, and a chuckle on their lips.

Jenn K.

Jenn was born in Pennsylvania, but has lived in Middletown most of her life, so she considers herself a local. Arts and crafts have always been part of her life. She is a UD alum with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts and has participated in three shows. Jenn considers herself a history buff and draws her inspiration from her favorite artists, Edward Hopper and Claude Monet. Along with painting, she also favors photography and sewing/needlecraft. A fun fact, Jenn's favorite things to draw are chickens, ever since her family got them as pets. She is excited to be part of the PWAT Team, to be able extend the artist' experience to everyone who wants to get in touch with their creative side.

Sarah L.

Initially, some of us feel nervous to try something new. The courage and dedication devoted to mastering our talents is certainly a huge part of Sarah's art. This self-taught artist comes to us from Edgewood, Maryland. Her love for fantasy art has led her to paint in large scales, often depicting dragons in scenic environments. For Sarah, the Painting with a Twist experience is an escape in which people find it easy to have fun and connect with each other.
