While working at Painting with a Twist, one of my most memorable experiences was teaching a class for a young girl’s birthday party where we painted ducks in a pond. The atmosphere was full of excitement and creativity, and it quickly became one of my favorite classes to lead. I was proud of how my own painting turned out, but what made the experience truly special was the connection I built with the birthday guest and her family and friends. Guiding everyone through the process and seeing their enjoyment reminded me how art can bring people together through shared creativity and appreciation.
