1) Can you please introduce yourself to everyone.

Hello, I am Veniessa. I am a Canadian artist. I am the proud owner of The Wobbly Canvas along side my husband Wayne. We opened our business in July and to our excitement, it is becoming a great success! Who would of thought combining friends(old and new), fun, a glass of wobbly and some paint direction would be such a wonderful night out for so many!
We've now been in the newspaper twice! Burlington Lifestyle and Burlington Post~what an exciting time!

2) Would you like to share any work you have done or doing?

Sure :) always creating, here are some new ones that we will have events for through the coming months! They are one canvas and double canvas paintings (to paint one at our event is $30.00 a person, and the doubles are $40.00 pp includes a glass of wine:)

(More art at the end of the blog)

3) Do you have a favorite piece of work?

I always have a favorite piece! It changes all the time..I recently did a snowy owl in a tree- for now he's my favorite...for now! :)

4) Did you always want to paint and what inspired you to do it?

I have always had an artist mind. I have always been involved with art and it has forever been my outlet. For me painting holds hands with my imagination. I love what I do! Nothing really inspired me, its been my outlet since I was a child. Just something I have to do to be whole

5) Do you need a nice quiet space to paint or are you blasting your music and painting?

I am not a lover of quiet! It allows my brain to get loud! I usually paint to music

6) If you could give one tip to someone who wants to paint what would it be?

Let go! Empty your mind of all the days activity and worry and just paint it out! Never painted? That's what I'm here for! I'm here to walk you through step by step so you don't have to think or stress! There is something very freeing about painting with friends (or even on your own) My mission is always the same- bring creativity, and people together and magic happens! ...I guess that's more than one tip!

7) What is the big dream? In other words where would you like your art work to take you to in the future?

oh I have all kinds of dreams~i'm a dreamer. I don't know exactly where I want my art to take me, that's part of the fun...when you jump off a mountain, I believe part of the excitment is never knowing where you're going to land!

8) If you could meet anyone living or dead who would it be?

hmmm- good question! I have a few I guess. I would like to meet any woman living or passed that had the courage to do great things and step out of their comfort zone! Women like that inspire me every day!

I like all music, I love music that tells a story. Except for opera music(I could do without)
