Specialties
I'm so grateful to be able to share my passion for art with my clients in a fun and exciting setting. After receiving my degree in the field, I knew I wanted to help share the joy I experienced when painting with the world. That's when the idea of creating an exciting paint and sip experience popped into my mind. It's no secret that these events are a wonderful time to express yourself creatively and to try something new, but my take on this time-tested tradition is to provide my clients with more flexibility. Whether hosting a date night, corporate event, party, or more, I'll work with you and your guests to find an image you'd like to paint, and take you on the journey of bringing it to life. All the while, enjoying food, drinks, and laughter.
History
Established in 2014.
It began with a passion to share art interests with friends while enjoying gourmet refreshment & wine. The first paint event, Starry Night with Van Gogh, was so well received. We proceeded with Still Life with Cezanne, Fun with Watercolor, Georgia's Treasure, etc. Our goal is to reach out to more audience, and create an unique painting experience.
Meet the Business Owner: Mary W.
Mary Lin Watanabe is an award winning artist and a long time San Fernando Valley resident. She has a B.F.A. from C.S.U.N. and did graduate studies with Bruce Everett. Her works combine expressionism and symbolism to create abstract images that convey strong statement about the nature and its universal balance.
Since 1990, Mary has painted a thematic series of street lights. These large scale paintings consisted of sensual images of translucent lights amidst the shadowy scenery. She also made numerous drawings and water color that transform the natural organic form to evocative abstract configuration. Her work has been exhibited in collective shows in Northridge, Burbank, Chatsworth, and the Getty Underground Art in Los Angeles.
She is an active docent at the Getty Center, where she participates in the weekly volunteer program in the Getty Education Department. The program is to benefit both primary and secondary students in the Los Angeles area to enhance their art appreciation.
