About Leanne:

Hi! I’m Leanne Labiuk, One Stroke Certified Instructor and Paint Party Instructor.

I taught myself how to paint when I was pregnant with my first child. He is 24 now! I perfected my skills and soon became a Certified One Stroke Instructor. I am a proud Mom of 3 amazing adult kids (Curtis, Abbey, Clayton) and a 6 year old Shihtzu (Elvis). I have a wonderful partner in life (Steve) who supports me in all that I do and also help raise his 2 daughters (Lily and Dahlia).

I enjoy creating (of course), anything with chocolate, wine tasting, cottaging, crafting, learning, snacking, self improvement and social connection.

Get ready to grab a paint brush and get busy fueling your creativity! Book a workshop or class today. We provide a cozy space for you to experiment, socialize, relax and feel proud and fulfilled using what everyone has in them…creativity.

I believe everyone has an artist inside...sometimes, they just need a little paint (and maybe a glass of wine) to bring it out!

I started hosting paint parties 13 years ago because I crave social creativity (yes, it’s a thing!) Creating should be fun, stress-free, therapeutic and full of laughs. After instructing over 160+ paint parties, I found that a lot of participants enjoyed the calm, relaxing, therapeutic aspect of painting as they learned some tips & tricks along the way!

Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned pro, my goal is to make sure you leave with a project you’re proud of and some feel good vibes too!

So grab a brush, let loose, and let’s make some colorful magic together in a Workshop Series, Social Saturday or Private Paint!

(P.S. No experience required—just a willingness to have fun!) Your right brain will thank you!
