Amanda

Hi there! My name is Amanda Spurlock and I am a local artist from Clearwater, Fl. I have been an Art Instructor at Painting with a Twist since 2017. I am also a K-8th grade Art teacher. My love of art started as early as I can remember. I grew up learning from my Father, working in his studio/art gallery after school, and sitting in on his art classes. I always had a pencil in my hand and enjoyed drawing the world around me. Now, I am married with 2 amazing sons, that make everyday an adventure! My favorite thing about working at PWAT is putting my passion for teaching Art, and my love of laughter together to provide a fun "out of the ordinary" experience for everyone. Come paint with me and let your creativity and sweet dance moves come along for the party!

Ayleen

My name is Ayleen Veras, Step into my world of creativity! I’m an Industrial Designer by profession and a Visual Artist by passion, from Dominican Republic. Since 2018, I’ve been an Arts & Crafts instructor for adults and kids. Growing up as an artist, I developed a deep love for teaching others about art and culture, creating dynamic and valuable experiences. My background in industrial design has allowed me to merge art into various spaces, from furniture and set design to interior decor, graphic design, and illustration. As a muralist, I bring vibrant life to both indoor and outdoor spaces. My techniques: Graphite and charcoal drawing, pastels, acrylic, oil, watercolor, and clay sculpture.

Dayann

I was born in Cuba in 1984, raised by a doctor and a teacher who taught me the value of hard work and curiosity. I fell in love with drawing and painting as a teenager, and that passion took me to San Alejandro Fine Art Academy, the oldest art school in Cuba. I graduated in 2004 and basically never stopped creating after that. In 2009, I opened my own studio and started teaching people of all ages — something that quickly became just as important to me as making art. A few years later, in 2016, I returned to San Alejandro as a teacher, and by 2021 I was leading the Painting Department. I also began studying at the Higher Institute of Art in 2020, but in 2023 I moved to the United States and started a new chapter in my life. Today, I keep painting, exploring new ideas, and sharing what I’ve learned with others.

Mr. Mike

It's the "Silver Fox" here, and I’m excited to share a bit about my journey as a part-time artist at PWAT Tampa West. After retiring from my executive career, I decided to immerse myself in the world of creativity and self-expression. Painting has not only brought me immense joy but has also allowed me to connect with others through the universal language of art. At PWAT Tampa West I've found a community where fun, laughter, and creativity come together. I invite you to join me for a delightful art experience that promises to be both enjoyable and fulfilling.
