Instructors:

Susan

I am Susan. I have loved art since I could color stacks of coloring books as a child. In primary school my favorite thing was art. Same with middle school and High School. I would get in trouble for not paying attention and doodling. So, off to University of WI. Madison I went to achieve my degree in textile design. Upon graduation I packed my car and moved to L.A. where I worked as a textile designer. This took me on business trips to various mills on the East Coast where I met my husband in Logan Int. Airport. He lived in Alaska! Off to Alaska I went. The culture and beauty in Alaska captured my artistic desires even more. I began teaching and painting. Now I live in Centennial Colorado with my husband and have 2 daughters and a son-in- law. I adore them all and continue to have the privilege of teaching my passion, painting. “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” ~Scott Adams

Shawna

Hi there! My name is Shawna, and I was born and raised here in Aurora.  Art has always been a passion of mine, and it has been such a joy to combine it with my other passion of teaching. I am currently a senior studying elementary education at UNC.

In my free time, I love hiking, painting, spending time with loved ones, and doing yoga.  It is so rewarding to work with people and inspire them to take risks and create something extraordinary.  “Creativity is the way I show my soul to the world.” -Brene Brown

 

 

 

Molly

I have the joy of meeting amazing people wherever I move and I look forward to meeting you here at The Paint Cellar!

Greetings, I’m Molly Sullivan. I am a proud Colorado native and absolutely enjoy every part of this beautiful state, but my favorite is it’s people. I live in Aurora with my husband, our three kids (2, 7, and 9). I absolutely love being able to be home with my kids through their young years. Being a mom has helped me to see the world through their curious, free-spirited, innocent eyes. To me, God is the source of beauty and we merely gaze upon it, what a wonderful gift! Let’s explore the possibilities of what beauty we can help you unlock via a fun evening together, accomplishing your own work of art, or having a wonderful conversation in good company…all at the Paint Cellar!
