meet the artist
Hi, I'm Veronica.
Painting has always been my favorite way to connect and explore. Now, through Painted Vine I get to set that up for other people, all over Lake Tahoe.
Painted Vine is a traveling studio. That's the whole idea. Instead of asking you to come to a paint shop or invest in your own set up, we bring the studio to the places you actually want to be: a winery, brewery, cafe, your backyard, your living room, your office, we'll even come to your office conference room.
The painting itself is just the excuse. The real thing is what happens when people sit down together for the experience. Strangers become friends, coworker connect in new ways, families surprise each other.
Painted Vine was born in Lake Tahoe, and most of what we paint is inspired by it: the sunsets, the pines, the water that's a different color every single day. If you haven't picked up a paintbrush since second grade, you're going to do great. That's a promise.
Built around Tahoe
Local artists, local venues, paintings inspired by the lake.
Fully mobile
We bring every easel, brush, and drop cloth. You bring people.
Judgment-free
If you can hold a brush, you can do this. We promise.
Let's paint
Let's paint together.
Whether it's a private party, a corporate team, or one of our public nights, there's a brush with your name on it.
