The Full Story
About
Hi there! I’m Emily Prahl, the owner and instructor behind Evolve Paint & Sip, a mobile paint party business I started in 2019. My mission is to help people tap into their creativity in a fun, relaxed environment - whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time or you’ve been painting for years.
My art journey began in 2013 when I tagged along with friends to a paint and sip class (having no idea what to expect). That one evening sparked something in me, and I was instantly hooked. I painted at home constantly, worked through video tutorials, and attended just about every paint and sip class I could find in Oklahoma City. Eventually, I applied to "Paint and Cheers", a well loved studio in OKC’s creative district, and was thrilled to join their team as an instructor.
Today, I work in digital marketing, and Evolve Paint & Sip is my side gig that brings me so much joy and gratitude. I chose the name “Evolve” because it reflects what art has taught me - that growth comes in small steps. For me, that also means stepping outside my comfort zone with public speaking (a big part of teaching these classes!) and expanding my art knowledge.
Art is such a powerful way to grow and express yourself, and my goal is to make each class a space where you can relax, enjoy the process, and leave with something you’re proud of.
