My name is Lois Gardiner, owner of Paint ur Art Out . I believe in the value of creativity in our society and Paint ur Art Out has evolved to focus on that. In recent years I have begun to identify also as an artist and therefore started this business to create an art community as well as place where creativity can be fostered. Art to me is something that I have used as a solace and comfort while I am creating it - it really does feed my soul. However I believe art has an impact on others because of how it speaks to them, the emotions it creates when you look at a piece of art, and what it stirs in another person's soul. What I am learning as I see others reactions to my art is that it creates a healthy energy that is an interesting catalyst creatively. Honoured to be working with so many amazing artists.
I am self taught partially, but also have taken both directed and self directed classes and the odd course or two including weekend workshops. I enjoy learning and trying new things and love to be challenged with something specific someone has in mind that they want to create for a space. This is fun and challenging and something I am open to discussing with anyone who is interested. I love seeing the outcome for the specific spot. To be honest sometimes what you might want is not my first choice to paint but interestingly perfect for the space, and when it works it makes the piece of art amazing.
I believe you grow each day and we are responsible for the world we create around us….my hope is my art feeds your soul in a positive way and brightens your day.
