TRAILSIDE ON 20 SEVEN

🎨 Open Studio Sessions

Need a quiet space to paint, finish a piece, or just play with color without setting up your kitchen table?

Come paint with me. Leave the mess here in the studio.

These low-key sessions are perfect for artists of any level who want access to professional studio supplies, easels, good light, and a calm, supportive atmosphere. You can keep working on a piece from class or start something brand new. There’s no formal instruction, but I’ll be there painting too—happy to offer a bit of guidance if you want it.
