Discover Your Creative Side (Yes, You Have One!)

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

Step into a cozy, joy-filled space where stress melts away and creativity takes over. Whether you're here to unwind, connect, or just try something fun, you'll feel right at home.

Led by a One Stroke Certified Instructor, DecoArt Helping Artist, and seasoned Paint Party Instructor (that's me, Leanne!), each session is filled with laughter, step-by-step guidance, and that “I can’t believe I painted this!” moment.

No experience? No problem. You’ll leave with something that you are proud of that is “display worthy”.

As a mom of three, with a supportive partner, caregiver to his daughters, dog-mom, and creativity expert who loves wine tasting, chocolate, cottaging, and crafting…I bring warmth, encouragement, and real-life joy into every class.

Grab a brush, pour a beverage, and come create with us. Your right brain will thank you!

At the You Can Paint Studio I help people reconnect with their creativity and each other through fun, no-pressure painting workshops and classes…no experience required, just a desire to try!

“YOU CAN”
