In a word, FUN.

In a word, FUN. And Carrie has the ability to make us feel like we have “ability” too. Step by step and laugh by laugh, the time goes quickly and at the end of it all, you have a painting to show for it, evidence of a good time. The coolest part is that even tho Carrie is guiding you along with her delightful humor and wit, she’s teaching some wonderful fundamentals of art at the same time. Each painting is unique and beautiful regardless of how much or little experience each “painter” comes to the studio with. It’s just a blast to be creative and a great place to spread your artistic wings!

It’s a lot of fun!

Been here several times for a girls night out and holiday company parties.  It’s been fun every time – you can bring your own food and drink and they take you step by step on how to paint a picture that you thought you never would be able to do.  It’s a lot of fun!

This is a great place for a girls night out.

BYOB wine and painting is a great idea!  Awesome little studio walks you through painting your own little masterpiece!  Bring a bottle of your favorite wine and they will provide all the supplies for painting.  It’s a little scary but I was able to channel my inner Van Vogh and was able to re-create a portrait of Daisies.  This is a great place for a girls night out.  Carrie thanks for opening such a wonderful studio!

Carrie is such a great teacher, very receptive to what the class needs, and very kind!

I just went back yesterday for my second class with Carrie. I’m just shocked at how well my paintings have come out… she breaks it down so that it is so easy to follow along. For a person who has never painted in her life, this class has been just so much fun for me. I plan on going back since there are a few more paintings I want to try.
Carrie is such a great teacher, very receptive to what the class needs, and very kind! Supporting local artists is such a treat, the class is fun, and the studio is just fantastic!

good times…

My Wife and I went for date night to do this and had a very fun evening. Bring your bottle or wine or beers, good times.

This places is great — very cool.

This places is great — very cool.  I went to one of the Van Gogh vino nights… you can bring food, and wine.  The music is pumping at times, but is also quiet when you need to listen to instructions.  The time just flies… you dive right into painting and Carrie makes you feel very welcomed and artistic (even if you aren’t:).  I’ve been wanting to take lessons forever – this was a nice quick reward to build my confidence and actually leave with a painting ready to hang – how cool is that.  You gotta go.  Enjoy.

Working in a busy 9 Doctor, 24 hour emergency hospital can get a little stressful at times, so every once in awhile our team gets to get out of the office and connect outside of work. Over the last couple weeks they had the opportunity to spend an afternoon relaxing and learning to paint with Creative Color Art Studios or brave the rapids, kayaking down the Salt River with Saguaro Lake Ranch Resort, Mesa AZ! Each Doctor, Technician, Groomer and Kennel Tech is appreciated and makes TSVC the successful practice our clients can count on!

I will honestly say that last night was one of the best nights of my life!

I wanted to thank you for a fabulous fundraising event last night! Aside from reaching our financial goals for the night, it was such a joy to be with all of my friends and neighbors at your gorgeous studio under your patient and instructive artistic wing. I know 2 of my friends (Kenny from Tumbleweed and Christina with NWLB) were so impressed and had such a wonderful time they will be doing fundraisers for their projects with you as well!  On top of that, when friends asked what other fundraising events we were dong before the triathlon, they requested ANOTHER PAINT PARTY WITH YOU! Chris and I will be contacting you for an early September party soon and decided over coffee this morning to ditch our other plans. I will honestly say that last night was one of the best nights of my life!  That is exactly what I told my husband when I got home. I still cannot believe how much my friends gave and cared. Simply filled with gratitude and I know the experience was made complete by you and your staff who I now feel are among my caring and giving friends as well. ALL MY THANKS!!!

— Susan Van Wie, PHX CHILDRENS HOSPITAL FUNDRAISER

We are proud to have Carrie’s leadership setting a fine example in the art education of our daughter!

Article (Merging Art and Business in the College Curriculum) I was so reminded of Carrie, reading about merging the passions of art & business, which is what she beautifully does in her very successful and purely wonderful visual art education offerings. We are proud to have Carrie’s leadership setting a fine example in the art education of our daughter! Thank you!
