Unlock Your Inner Artist with Dana Childs | 4 Week Series | Wednesdays | Beginning February 4th 2026
2026-02-04 10:00 - 13:00 | Brewery Arts Center | South Building | Painting Studio, 449 W King St, Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Create your own masterpieces in this open-ended art experience. If you’ve ever dreamed of working on an artistic project—whether it’s painting, graphite, pen and ink, or even incorporating two- and three-dimensional textures or objects into your work of art—this is the workshop for you. This is a series of 4 workshops to give you the time and space to create your vision.

Over the course of the past nearly 30 years, Dana Childs has guided, taught, and facilitated courses and workshops that have helped produce professional artists as well as encouraged hobbyists to have the time of their lives and enjoy feeling successful. You can free the artist within you with as much or as little influence from outside as you desire. Weekly demonstrations serve to introduce or review basic art and design concepts, as well as experimental strategies. You can either follow along or continue to work on your own project during the demonstrations. Most of the time will be dedicated to individual time to work on your own projects, while Childs is there to offer assistance as needed.

About the Artist

“Variety is the spice of life!” declares the educationally eclectic Childs. She has been driven by an inexhaustible desire to learn, and then to pass on that which she learns to others. “One of my greatest passions in life is to either keep the flame of our innate love for learning alive, or to reignite this flame in the hearts of those whose flames have dwindled, or been completely dowsed,” says Childs. Whatever the subject matter, she remains enthusiastic about sharing information & helping others build skills that will serve them and others well.
With 20+ years experience teaching watercolor as well as graphite and acrylic mediums, Childs brings an in-depth understanding of how to connect with her students and pass on skills that empower her students to create to their hearts desire, with amazing results. “My job, if I do it well, is to work myself out of a job,” she says.
