(Face Painting at The Annual Oakmont Regatta)
I opened my studio in 2013 on the mere idea of having a space to produce my own paintings and to flip some furniture. Never did i expect it to evolve into a business where I can do what I love. I suppose thats the beauty of it. When you are passionate about something things just naturally fall into place...
I received my BFA from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with a Major in Painting and in Art History. I fell into Art restoration after school restoring Paintings that gone through excessive water & fire damage in Ohio as well as the Pittsburgh area. I always wanted to be a teacher. The art teachers I had growing up were very inspiring and I wanted in a way to pass that on. After a year of opening the studio I decided to begin with BYOB paint nights.
I wanted to be able to have fun and laid back classes at my studio for both adult and kids minus the worry of not producing a perfect painting. I teach the fundamentals of painting to all my classes but I want each individual to feel stress free. Art is not based on the end result of a perfect image but merely on the process itself. To leave my class fullfilled, relaxed and accomplished is what Truthful Art is about.
