I'm AJ, jack of all artistic trades and master of... fun! After years of teaching Visual Art at Santa Fe High School, I went on to complete an M.A. from the University of Houston-Clear Lake with a concentration in Graphic Design. Now, in addition to my various roles at Painting with a Twist, I'm a working artist in materials ranging from clay to digital media. My creativity is fueled by curiosity, which keeps me feeling young and optimistic. What are you curious about today?
