Ashton

My name is Ashton, sometimes known as Rice. I’m a sequential art major at SCAD and love to create. I’m from Charlotte, NC and have been in Savannah for three years. I traditionally use pen and ink for my work, which typically takes the form of comics. If you are a fan of graphic arts or comics, let’s have a very long conversation! I love to talk and joke A LOT, people say it’s part of my charm. In my spare time I love to play video games and draw slice of life comics about my day-to-day experience. I’m naively friendly so don’t be too shy to chat/ask a question!

Gabe

I am a fun, energetic, karaoke singing, twerking teacher at Painting with a Twist. This job is the dream for me, when you guys come in you probably would never guess I worked here by how much I love it. If you have a class with me your sure never to forget it! When I am not teaching, I am often spending time with my 3 kids and husband, they are the light of my life. We all enjoy beach days, park days, basically any and everything outside. My husband and I own two business, The Fork and Daggers! So, a lot of our time is spent making dank food and watching people devour it. If I am not kicking it with the family I am often working on commissioned pieces or doing a gallery exhibit, that's kind of my jam. So, hope you guys enjoyed getting to know me! I look forward to hangout with you all!

Jessica

Hey y'all! My name is Jessica. I was born, raised and still live in Meldrim, GA. I have been here almost all my life. I love making all types of art, but painting is my favorite! When I am not making art, you will usually find me hanging out with my kids, family and friends, or out fishing somewhere, having a good time, of course! I have been working at PWAT, Savannah for over 2 years now, and I love it! I love to make my classes fun, so y'all come out and paint with me!

Lauren

Hi! My name is Lauren, I am one of the artists here at Painting with a Twist. I love working here. I am a people person and enjoy interacting and entertaining guest. One thing I am quite fond of is learning new things; always curious and trying to discover more. I love working with children and I consider myself a big kid at heart. In 2015, I graduated from SCAD with a BFA in Sequential Art (the art of comics and storyboards) so I love all things Superhero! When I am not painting you can find me drawing, reading, eating (most of the time), playing with my dog, teaching kids or hanging out with family. I hope while you are here you enjoy yourself and feel the passion that I, and all of us here at Painting with a Twist have for art!

Nikki

Hey! My name is Nikki. I’m currently enrolled in the MFA Painting program at SCAD. I’m originally from Long Island, NY. My work is inspired by street art and the environment around us. I also enjoy painting murals, creating commissions, and experimenting with my work. When I’m not painting I’m taking care of my plants, exploring the city, and watching reruns of The Office!

Sue

Hello! I'm Sue. I studied Ceramics at University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where I've lived most of my life. I moved to Savannah in May and am enjoying getting to know the city (and learning to say y'all!) In addition to painting, I work as a floral designer, ceramics artist, and face painter. When not working on one of my many art projects, I spend my time walking around this beautiful city or at the park with my Great Dane, Hooper. I'm very excited to paint with you and can't wait for a paint your pet night so we can all gush over our sweet babies.
