Lucius

Hello there everyone!! My name is Lucius. I want to go into writing literature and I hope to one day be a lyricist. I love to paint, draw, and write. I love all forms of art, and would love to experience some I don’t know how to do yet. But other than all that I love to play all things Pokémon, and love to build legos, especially the floral sets.

Marissa

Hi there, I'm Marissa! I'm known around for being a high-school art teacher and free-time photographer. I graduated from St. Mary's University in 2018 with my Bachelor's in Art Education. I've always been big on art in all its forms, but painting has always been a favorite of mine. Outside of that, you can find me playing Animal Crossing, watching a crime series, or hanging out with Winnie and Jasmine (world's most spoiled housecats).

Reigna

Hello everyone, my name is Reigna! I am currently a student at Northwest Vista pursuing my Bachelor's Degree in Art. While I have always drawn and doodled from the time I was little, after watching multiple videos on different expressionist painters, I was inspired to try out painting and fell absolutely in love. After two semesters of painting courses that ended all too soon, I jumped at the opportunity to paint every day here at Painting with a Twist! I specialize in Acrylic Paint and when I'm not drawing or painting I'm usually playing Skyrim, surfing YouTube, or spending time with family and friends.

Sofia

As a recent marketing graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas, I bring a passion for creativity and innovation to every project. With six years of experience in painting, I blend artistic flair with strategic thinking, to deliver compelling pieces. When not immersed in marketing strategies, you can find me enjoying quality time with my puppy, indulging my love for creativity, and infusing every moment with fun and adventure.

Dae

I am a local San Antonio artist known as Artsy Dae. You can find my art hanging in restaurants, offices, and homes all across the city and in over 20 states. I’ve known I wanted to be an artist since I was young, inspired by the nature around me from growing up on a farm and always encouraged by my late father to pursue that dream. He was the first person to buy one of my paintings at my debut gallery show. He pretended not to know me and boasted loudly about my work to the other attendees. Surprisingly, his efforts worked— I sold almost all my paintings that night! Since then, I’ve fully immersed myself in the art world, learning and teaching all kinds of mediums, from painting and photography to candle-making. I started working with Painting with a Twist in 2015, and it has opened so many doors for me in the art community, including opportunities to work with National Geographic and Disney. I’m excited to paint with everyone at PWAT Northwest! See y'all there.
