About
Dive into an evening of creativity inspired by the beauty of the ocean. Create a colorful underwater flora and fauna painting with step-by-step guidance from our teaching artist and local painter, Mimi Doyo. Leave with a beautiful artwork to display at home and a memorable evening of creativity. Whether you're gathering with friends or enjoying a solo night out, it's the perfect opportunity to slow down, unwind, and create.
No experience? No problem! We welcome all skill levels. This class is about having fun and making memories, rather than producing a “perfect” painting. We encourage you to paint in a way that feels good for you!
