Jessica Cook: Owner & Operator

Hello I’m Jessica Cook and I am thrilled to be doing what I love here at Uptown Painting Party!

I love connecting with people and helping them bring their creativity in their mind into real life projects and works of art! For many years I have been putting my artistic abilities aside to work in other careers. When the opportunity presented itself to become an owner of Uptown painting party, I took a shot at this awesome business with hopes to add my own inspirations and ideas.

I have worn many different hats over the years. Working in various careers but I’ve always found my heart to be with my love for art and crafting. Owning this business has given me the opportunity to not only express my own artistic abilities, but also to enjoy helping others create theirs and while making many friends along the way! As we prepare to open a new studio in the Johnstown  Galleria Mall, we hope that you will join us and support our business so that we can continue to offer such a fun activity for the local area.

Tia Livengood: Artist

Greetings, everyone! My name is Tia Livengood, and I am immensely grateful and elated to be able to say that I will be your art instructor at Uptown Painting Party!

From an early age I can say that I have been perpetually enthralled and devoted to two subjects; various forms of the arts, and zoology. Being an aspiring zoologist I enjoy incorporating any and all animals into my art and paintings.

In addition to painting, I am also a photographer (https://www.facebook.com/TiaLivengoodPhotography ). I also enjoy any and all crafts I can get my hands on. So if anyone would need advice in quilting, knitting, photo-canvas transfers, or any other crafts, I would be more than happy to provide advice with this as well.

I am currently residing in the small, and rural town of Rockwood, PA, with my wonderful boyfriend, Alberto. He is also a photographer (https://www.facebook.com/VanHeckePhotography ), and is always dedicated to helping me accomplish my dreams and ambitions. Having supportive friends and family around me is a constant inspiration in my paintings.

Natural settings may be my forte, however I hope to bring a wide diversity of ideas to the table, I hope to appeal to any and all interests, and assist anyone interested to perceive subjects in a different light. There are many creative spins on canvas painting I would love to share with you. But above all, I hope that you may have a wonderful and fun time joining me!
