Alisha Bridges
Artist & instructor

Meet Alisha Bridges

Alisha has always been drawn to art as an outlet. One of her first realistic drawings was a childhood toy, sketched in crayon on the back of a brown paper bag. These days she rarely goes anywhere without a sketchbook, paints, or a pen to capture the beauty in everyday scenes.

Growing up in upstate South Carolina, she learned to find beauty in the common and to seek out uncommon beauty too. Her landscapes often come from summer travels, and just as often from a nearby farm or stream.

During the school year Alisha is a full-time teacher. That same love of helping people learn is what Creative Canvas is about: a relaxed night out where anyone, including people who have never held a brush, leaves with something they're proud of.

What painters say

We had a great time painting our tulips for spring! Such a nice way to spend some fun time with a friend or family, groups, or brush up on your skills! Alisha is a great instructor, everybody's canvas came out uniquely perfect!

Alisha's classes are the BEST. I felt so encouraged and at ease throughout the painting process. She was helpful, made it so fun, and I felt like I had learned so many things while painting. I've taken 2 classes with her and will continue to take more!

We had a blast painting our donkeys Henry, Willie & Jed with Creative Canvas at Stubborn Mule Brewing this week!
