Cough, I have ZERO art ability.” She said on why she started the company from scratch. “I Love to pretend I can paint and I truly believe art is therapeutic. I always wanted to take painting classes in college but was too intimidated. “Mission accomplished as she seemingly achieved her goal of building a company that offers social, relaxed, stress-free and welcoming art classes for all ages and skill levels.
