Our Baton Rouge, LA Painting with a Twist Artists

Bryan

Hey, I'm Bryan, AKA Batman, the Art Director for this studio. I have been interested in creating art since a very young age. Though I have never received any formal art training, my parents have always encouraged my love for drawing, painting, and sculpture. Being a self taught artist, I believe that I am good proof that practice with diligence leads to noticeable improvement. I love my job at Painting with a Twist because I get to share my knowledge of art in a fun filled setting. My favorite type of paintings are portraits of people and animals. When I’m not painting, you can find me at the movies or reading comic books. I hope you will enjoy your time at Painting with a Twist and possibly pursue the arts in the future, because it can be very rewarding!

Destinie

I am a self-taught artist born in Baton Rouge and raised in Natchitoches. I picked up acrylic and oil painting as a child. I am now a Manship School of Mass Communication graduate with a concentration in Digital Advertising. At Manship, I was introduced to both graphic design and digital art. With my parents and the majority of my family being born and raised in New Orleans, I visited the creative hub often and got to experience Louisiana art and music from the northern towns to the southern cities. I quickly fell in love with the culture of my state from top to bottom and look forward to creating a body of work that displays its influence and expresses my admiration for it. I’m glad I was fortunate enough to be welcomed into the Painting with a Twist family to help me do so.

Edie Sanders

Hey! I’m Edie, aka Edith. I’m a self taught artist, born and raised in Louisiana. I love music and hanging out with my friends but more than anything I’m passionate about art. I became very dedicated and serious with art in high school and ever since then I can’t stop myself from being a doodlebug 24/7. My favorite type of art to do is watercolor and also portraits of people. My major is Education with a minor in Art at BRCC. I am also known to be very outgoing and could talk for hours about anything. So being apart of the Painting with a Twist crew is a dream job for me and I am in love with meeting others and teaching them the fun ways of art.

I have a passion for taking care of houseplants, and you can find me popped up at makers’ markets on the weekends all around Baton Rouge selling plant-themed artwork. When I’m not in the studio, I’m probably doing yoga, playing music, or watching movies. I can’t wait to meet you at Painting With a Twist!
