Hi everybody! Joanne here:) Robbinsville resident! I have been an art teacher for about 20 years--the 'fun class'. Art has been a major part of my life since I was a young mess-maker. This has revolved in and out of my classroom. My favorite materials to work with include clay and watercolor, but I'm up for dabbling in any media that I can use to create. I'm also proud mom of a great teenage girl (you read that right). I'm always on the go--travel, beach, the city--wherever good times reside.

Hello! My name is Josh. I am currently a security officer but my life's passion is art! I am beyond excited to be back into painting and working at Painting with a Twist teaching classes to those wishing to have a great time painting their own works of art. I am new to the Robbinsville area and am beginning a new family with my fiance and a baby girl on the way! Other hobbies of mine include lacrosse, reading books and graphic novels and, of course, doing my independent artwork. My dream is to go back to school to receive my MFA and pursue a career in animation!

If you're looking for a sweet mid-west gal to teach you a thing or two about painting, look no further you found her. Hello, my name is Darlene. I grew up the youngest of eight in the small farm town deep in the sticks. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an artist, and now I'm living the dream. I remember the first time I ever met an actually artist. Her name was Diana, she was a local artist that was hired to paint a mural outside a local thrift shore. I would ride my bike uptown day after day just to watch her work. I just remember thinking to myself "Wow, so I could do this for a living...." That was when my hobby jumped into a career goal. I spent the rest of that summer painting on my own bedroom walls, learning as I went and never giving up. Well, I never did and I kept going. A lot has changed since then, now I have multiple degrees in Art focusing in Graphic Design. I love all things art. I currently work full-time at a local t-shirt company working in the marketing department, designing sale banners and newsletters. I love working here at PWAT. It doesn't feel like work. I literally do what I love, and get to hang out with great people all day.

Hey everyone! I'v been painting for a couple of years now, so much that I always have paint on my hands. When I'm not painting, I enjoy baking, taking photos and busting into song. My favorite type of painting is anything with lots of colors! Everywhere I go, I'm always armed with my camera so that I can take pictures and paint them later!

Hello, beautiful people! My name is Jacqui and I am a Digital Arts High School teacher by day, and by night, your very own Painting Instructor here at PWAT! I have always considered myself a "maker" and I enjoy the challenge of creating art and making things with my hands. Throughout my high school and college education, I have done a lot of woodworking, welding, and sculpting... and also worked with technology to program and design! My goal as an educator is to enrich students' lives with art, create a warm and welcoming environment, and inspire the "maker" in them. I also pride myself in bringing that philosophy to Painting with a Twist every time I walk into the studio. Not sure if there's an "artist" inside of you? Let me show you how to find it!
