Our Temple, TX Painting with a Twist Artists

Karen

Karen is originally from Baton Rouge, La, and spent most of her life inTexas, relocating to the Temple area in 2014 when she joined the PWAT team. She graduated from Texas State University with a BBA in management and focused on a corporate career in both the insurance and legal industries. Having no formal art education or training, she is self taught and has sketched and painted all her life, and art has always been second nature to her. She loves painting and creating and has discovered that she also loves teaching and really enjoys sharing her gift of painting with others. Helping people learn to paint has become a never ending rewarding experience to her and she absolutely loves her 'job'! She is also a freelance artist and enjoys painting anything from murals to Tom's shoes and everything in between. When she's not in the studio painting, she enjoys spending time with her husband Robin, raising and caring for their alpacas and all the other critters at their ranch. Karen and her husband Robin purchased the Temple studio in 2017 and are enjoying their new adventure as business owners and look forward to inspiring people to have fun and create lasting memories through art!

ANTONIO

Antonio is an artist who loves “creativity.” Why you might ask? He says, “By being creative, you are free to add your own individuality into anything you create.” He’s lived in Texas all his life, grew up in different cities, and all his experiences thrive on that, individuality. His favorite mediums are acrylics, pastels and pencils. While working on various pieces, he uses different tools to aid him with inspiration for his creations. When he is not working with art, he ventures outdoors for hiking and running to revitalize the senses. Also, he enjoys gaming, watching movies, relaxing, and being out with family and friends.

Carla

Carla was born and raised in multiple cities across Texas. She has a AA in Art from Temple College. She has always had a love for color and anything to do with being hands on and creative. This is what fueled her love for art. She works in many different mediums, including acrylic and oil painting, pen, pencil and colored pencil. When she's not doing art she enjoys hiking, roller skating, playing video games and spending time with her husband Tylor and their 3 cats.

Katherine

Katherine is an Art Education major at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. She has a passion for creating and a heart for children. She has worked with most mediums but she loves sculpture and ceramics. Painting with oil or acrylic is relaxing but she'd rather challenge herself with something 3D. In her free time she enjoys crocheting and embroidery. One day she hopes to be an elementary art teacher to remind children to keep a creative mind while in school.
