I’m excited to share my journey of teaching beginner painting classes! As someone who truly believes in the power of art as a therapeutic tool for mental health, I am passionate about offering accessible and enjoyable art experiences to my community and beyond. My adventure began when I teamed up with my partner to host Puff and Paint classes at his family’s CBD store. This innovative setting allowed us to create a relaxed and inviting environment where participants could express themselves through art while enjoying some delightful treats from the store. The response was so positive that it grew into a monthly event, where I guide attendees in creating their own paintings while they indulge in snacks and connect with others. In addition to our monthly classes, I’ve expanded my offerings to include private group sessions, both through the store and as a freelance instructor. Each class is fully equipped with all the necessary art supplies and step-by-step instructions on how to create themed paintings. It’s incredibly rewarding to see beginners turn blank canvases into beautiful expressions of their creativity. I’m excited to continue sharing my passion for art and mental wellness, and I look forward to seeing more individuals discover the joy of painting with me!
