I began painting after I attended my first paint night at a restaurant. First, it started with a few bottles of acrylic paint so I could perfect my paint night creations at home. Then, what started as printing online portraits for the challenge of replicating them, turned into leading paint nights for the students at my job and eventually saying “I think I should do this for real.
I really loved the concept of paint nights, but I hated that they were always jam-packed and that I could hardly hear the instructor because of the crowd. I also did not like that I had no control over my environment and that I had to be subjected to the wildly inappropriate conversations that strangers were having around me. Similarly, I felt strongly about the fact that there were no drinks or snackage included and that I was relegated to selecting only the paint options available on the website. After all, I wanted some artwork that was meaningful! Although many of the paintings were nice, there was never anything that truly spoke to me and if there was, I had to drive super far to get to it. So what do I do with that, and how do I fill in that gap for myself and others like me who the regular paint nights don’t seem to work for?
During my graduate school days I was taught never to present a problem without also bringing 3 potential solutions. Paint Queen was indefinitely my solutions with three added bonuses. Paint Queen parties are 1) Private 2) Themed and Personalized 3) Provide Treats and Beverages. Paint Queen by Monet is a completely different experience, so if paintings of beautiful sceneries or photos of places you can't afford to travel to is what you’re looking for, then Paint Queen parties may not suit your needs. With Paint Queen I want to help others celebrate things, people places and or events that are personal to them. I want to guide survivors of any type as they transform their “beauty for ashes” experiences into art instead of scars.
Thank you for your interest in Paint Queen by Monet and I look forward to helping you create a memorable experience!
