Hi, my name is Winter and I have had a passion for art since I was a little girl! I am a full time student at UNM for a degree in Fine Arts and love to do anything extra nerdy. I love video games, movies, D&D, drawing, painting, and so much more! I love what I do and I have been teaching painting classes for over a year when I started with my mother to do frequent art and wine events. Being an artist has been an amazing ride and I am so thankful and excited to be working with Painting with a Twist to allow other people to find their inner artist.

Hi, I’m Alane and am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. Art became one of my favorite pursuits in high school and I went on to study art and design in college. I was lucky enough to go to Italy for 6 months where I was inspired by the masterpieces that I saw almost everyday. My sense of adventure and love of wider more open spaces took me to Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. I taught at Painting with a Twist in Houston and am now happy to join the Albuquerque PWAT. My favorite artists are impressionists and fauves, and I use acrylic and watercolor paint in my own work. I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for painting with others.
Hi! My name is Holly Lorenzen. I'm originally from Iowa, but was lucky enough to be a traveling nurse for 7 years and see the country. I'm currently a nurse practitioner with a passion for anything artistic. I like to think my art classes helped me through my nursing degree. I love brightly colored art including painting, drawing, polymer clay, and crafting. I've recently moved back to Albuquerque and am excited to share my artistic abilities with PWAT.
