Our Portland, OR Bottle & Bottega Artists

Holly Moxley, Chief Creative Curator

Since the first time I stood in front of a group with a paintbrush in hand, I knew I was on to something special. There’s a simple beauty to making art, whether it’s your first time or your 500th time picking up a paintbrush. Bottle & Bottega helps you discover the creativity you had long forgotten or never knew you had. Whether it’s with a team of co-workers, a group of friends, or just a reason to do something different, everyone can benefit from the unique experience of art.

Katie- Creative Director, Chief of the Best Staff In The World

I have been painting/sculpting and drawing people for as long as I can remember. I process emotion, connection, and love through art. I enjoy sharing that process with others and encouraging them to find that within themselves.

Brandie - Store Decorator, Bar Manager, Good Vibe Curator

Working at a paint and sip has taught me the fundamentals, and allowed me to grow as an artist. It has also shown me that the idea of having a "normal" job sounds awful! I love being able to express my creativity through painting, decorating, and obsessing over the wine menu. My personal art is my therapy, my compass, and my favorite form of rebellion. I don’t box myself into one style because neither joy nor heartbreak fits into neat little lines. Somedays I need the structure of pop art, other days I’m spilling abstract feelings all over the canvas. Every piece I create is a little love letter to whatever part of my heart is speaking the loudest.

Kaiya W.

Though I’ve been painting for most of my life, I never knew I could make a living painting while engaging others in art at the same time. Simply being in a room with other humans while we all create is a magical and inspiring feeling I hope as many people as possible can experience. Though I went to the University of Oregon for English and spend the other half of my life writing, I’m always ecstatic when I get to pick up a brush.
