Golden Hour: A Sunflower Paint Party | Sept 18th

🌻 Golden Hour 🌻

Leave work behind. Pick up a paintbrush.

Say goodbye to your workday and spend your evening surrounded by art, good company, and a touch of creativity.

Join us for a relaxing evening paint & sip as you create a bold sunflower against a dramatic black background. No painting experience is needed. We'll guide you step-by-step while you enjoy your favorite drink, conversation, and time away from the everyday.

Come for a date night, girls’ night, or simply a chance to unwind with friends. Bring your own beverage, settle in, and let yourself enjoy a couple of hours of creativity without worrying about getting it perfect.

No experience necessary. All supplies provided. Just bring yourself, your favorite drink, and someone you enjoy spending time with (even if that's just you!).

Golden Hour

A Sunflower Paint Party

Meet Caitlin

Caitlin creates art with a purpose. She inspires people to be bold, dream big, and recognize the unique gifts they’ve been given. Her work blends traditional and surrealist influences with meaningful symbolism, creating pieces that invite reflection and conversation.

For this experience, Caitlin will guide you step-by-step as you create your own sunflower, encouraging you to enjoy the process and enter into a place of creativity. Her approach to creating is rooted in peace, purpose, and finding beauty in the process, and she’s excited to share that with you.

No painting experience needed. No need to plan the perfect night. Just come ready to unwind, create something beautiful, and enjoy a few hours with good people and good art.
