Catelyn

Owner + Instructor (and everything in between!)

Catelyn was born and raised in Charlottesville Virginia where she currently resides. She has loved creating ever since she was a child and found her love for painting in elementary school. She went to VCU Arts where she honed her passion for art. She worked as a career artist selling her pet portraits and blue ridge inspired work at markets and shows. She found her true calling in teaching others how to paint, sharing her passion for the medium, and celebrating the beautiful blue ridge area by partnering with venues in the greater Charlottesville area.
