We also had our silver picture frame with our wedding invitation in it that had started to come apart after 29 years. She put it all back together for us while we waited! She recommended some restaurants so we had dinner and everything was ready by the time we were finished!

IF Creating a painted work of art is on your "bucket list" then you need to make plans to attend…read moreone of The Art Escape's painting classes. Go by yourself and make new friends or attend with a group. Regular classes are offered each Tuesday and other days is by group booking. Looking to have a monthly community activity, then they'll come to you. In their studio, each month they pick a picture and in two hours they will instruct you how to go from a blank canvas to a beautiful piece of art you will be very proud of. You may discover your inner picasso or monet. Never painted before, don't worry, they take you through each step, demonstrating it and then working one on one as needed to help you paint that highlight or blend or whatever is needed for your painting. Maria and Katherine are two former art instructors that had a dream to run their own business and spread the beauty and joy of creating your own painted masterpiece. They have a very high level of customer service. I'm hooked and can't wait to go back.
