I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE
One of the best things about being a painter is getting to know other artists on a deeper level. So let me share a little about myself.
HI, I'MĀ OPI
I knew from a young age that I had artistic talent, but it wasnā€™t until college that I decided to devote myself to painting and turn my passion into my lifeā€™s work.
MY STORY
As a shy kid, I spent most of my days lost in my imagination. This often led to drawings of wild creatures and beautiful wonderlands that I would sketch in the pages of a notebook.
My drawing was my outlet, and my introverted nature helped me focus on developing my skills and learning new artistic mediums like clay and paint.
When I was asked to pick a discipline in college, I decided to pursue painting and have never looked back. I look forward to sharing my passion with you and inspiring your creativity to run wild.
WHY I TEACH
My artistic ability is what helped me to dig deep and discover who I am inside. I canā€™t imagine where I would be without this medium.
As I looked at the people in my life struggling to find themselves, I realized that my creativity could inspire others to look inside and discover what makes them truly happy too.
Everyone has an artist inside. Some of us just need a little more help bringing that inner artist to life. To me, watching others create something they never thought possible is the best feeling in the world.
MY VALUES
Be unapologetically you.
There is only one you, and art is a great way to uncover and express who you really want to be deep down.
I believe my paintings not only make the world a better place, but they also shape the people who experience them in beautiful ways. I love that I am able to take it a step further and help other artists find satisfaction in creating their own masterpieces.
