Our Trinity, FL Painting with a Twist Artists

Ivy

In the beginning, I was given a magical marker and from the diapers on I was on a journey to becoming the best artist I could be. My name is Ivy. I'm currently in my sophomore year of college. While I was in high school I also went to Marchman Technical Education Center for Commercial Arts. Now-a-days, apart from being an instructor at Painting with a Twist, I give private lessons to kids and preteens who are looking to amplify their artistic talents. I enjoy inspiring all my students and challenging them in a creative and fun way. I love making people smile, napping and Cool Ranch Doritos... and cheese cake. I don't like long walks on the beach because I'm pretty sure I'm one of the palest Floridians known to man. If you ever have the opportunity to join me for a class I teach there will more than likely be random dancing, terrible singing, and over use of my favorite word "phalanges".

Sharon

“I dream to paint, then paint my dream!” My passion has always been Art. I have always had a crayon, paintbrush,pencil, or pen in my hand. The last words my father spoke to me were “Keep Painting” and I will always honor that! I am a proud mom of two sons, two beautiful daughter-in laws and two of the most beautiful grandsons in the whole entire universe REALLY! With my “partner in crime” Michelle aka Sherlock, we have had the opportunity to see our extended PWAT Family grow and allow people to tell us “ I am an artist and I didn’t even know it!” This is MY dream, and I am following it EVERYDAY... Someday I WILL "Paint in Paris!"

“I was always known for doodling in the margins of whatever I could get my hands on. If there was a doodle where it shouldn’t have been, it was most likely me. Then one day I picked up a paint brush and never put it down! After I finished my first painting, I went around telling everyone “This is amazing! You should try it!” Since then, I have been inviting everyone I know to try painting! I started with Painting With A Twist in 2016 and every single day I fall more in love with it. Getting to share my love for paint every day has over all made me a happier and more bouncy person. I am a huge animal lover, whether furry or scales, I love them all. I’ve lived in Florida all my life and never tire of the gorgeous sunsets. I enjoy going out to explore nature and I absolutely love kayaking. And when it’s too hot, I enjoy watching fantasy movies with my fur babies. I try my hardest to push my limits and think outside the box. Come get creative with me!”
