Angel Carpenter

I'm Angel Carpenter, owner of WILDbrushes Art with Angel. I provide all the supplies, and we'll focus on the positive while we relax and paint. My background includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts (drawing and painting). I love teaching young and young at heart step-by-step acrylic paintings that are fun for beginners and are also enjoyable for advanced painters. My husband and I live in Grant County, Oregon, and are empty-nesters with four grown sons.

Robert Rex

I am a retired art teacher from California where I taught art at a high school for 30 years. I studied commercial art at "Art Center" in LA before transferring to Calif. State University at Long Beach, California where I received my BA in art. Then I transferred to Chico State University where I got my teaching degree. I also taught a basic drawing class at the local Junior college "College of the Sequoias" at the same time that I was teaching in the high school, for several years.

Kris Smith

Hi, I'm Kris Smith. I retired and moved to John Day in 2022 to be closer to my grandson. I've always loved crafting and exploring new mediums. I discovered stained glass in 2012 and was immediately captivated by the creative possibilities it offers in terms of color, texture, shapes, form, and light. Join me for a fun and creative experience and leave with a stunning piece of art that you've crafted yourself!
