Today I just want to say once again THANK YOU to everyone who has made The Studio a success. When I first asked a handful of women to meet with me so I could bounce some ideas off of them about what I had in mind I never envisioned that it would be all of this. I just thought a teaching studio would be a great idea.
What I didn’t realize, and I don’t think anyone did, is that it has turned into a gathering place for friends. So many new friendships have come from people meeting at various classes…or by getting to know different instructors. We have created together, traveled together, learned together…and so much more!
So, thank you again for making my vision so much bigger than any of us could have imagined!






We had an amazing birthday party for The Studio yesterday….2 years! We started this last year as we felt that it was a good opportunity to thank all the people who supported us throughout the year. We offered several projects for people to make and take with them.
A fun Poppy Paint Party with family and friends at The Studio yesterday. Job well done!!!
What a fun way to celebrate such a special event with friends…especially when many of these friends work at the Conservation Research Center here in Front Royal and they decide to paint Pet Portraits. It was perfect. And everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves so much as we celebrated the bride. Then they left with beautiful paintings of their pets (or favorite animals because I am pretty sure that the one lady doesn’t keep a Bongo in her backyard)!

One of my favorite Paint Party students, Liz, set up a private party for her support group and friends on Monday. They painted hydrangeas. Many of them had never painted before…and they loved it….and did GREAT! Good job everyone.
