Constantly jumping back and forth between paint and pencil, Dante works with multiple mediums and chooses what may work best depending on the type of image or story that needs to be told.

Priscilla Priscilla first fell in love with PWAT when she and her sister Kayla attended a class together. Though she didn't consider herself an artist at the time she felt at home with the whole concept of art and how it strengthened the relationships of all in the room. It wasn't long after, that her and her husband Britt started on the road to opening their very own studio! She considers herself very blessed to be apart of this amazing company!
