Jordan Cowger: I ordered a canvas painting of our kitty who had suddenly passed away and it turned out amazing! Perfectly resembled the picture with such great detail and customized to exactly what we wanted thank you again so much!
Karen L Acierno: I bought the original piece Ensemble by Chris Davis a year or so ago! I immediately loved the style and colors when he posted it! When I saw it in person I had to have it. I love it more every time I look at it. It has special place in our living room!
Judith Baker: I want to thank you again for this wonderful picture you did of my two dogs, Lucylou and Mr. Mugzy. It has brought much happiness to this household.
Barbara Godfrey: This painting that I bought from you has always had a special meeting for me. David and I used to go down to the Lake on Wednesday nights with a pizza and watch the sunset. And this picture represents him going to heaven.
Becky Rust Keefe: I commissioned a mini pet portrait that I wanted to give as a Christmas gift. I knew how busy Chris would be but threw it out there and said if he could if not we get it after the holidays. Thank you Chris you did not disappoint, his artwork was outstanding and such beautiful detail. Sometimes I think smaller items have to be harder to do and more intricate...he made sure I was totally happy with it before taking it. Could not have been more happy with it! If you check out the previous pictures you can see her emotion when she opened it. I would have to say Chris, it was on point! Also couldn't have asked for a more perfect size to go with the other memories of their precious Nikki! Thank you again Chris for painting such a lovely memory and it's always good to remember when there are happy tears at Christmas!!
Sondra Saylor: 3 generations of novice painters were able to create this beautiful artwork solely because of the creative direction and talent of Chris Davis. We love classes with him and making these memories. Thanks Chris for your gentle guidance; we always have so much fun!
Kim Davis: What an amazing and kind artist. I commissioned Chris to do 2 paintings: 1 for my mom of our Saint Bernard's and one of my sister's dog with a Nightmare Before Christmas background. He took my ideas and made them a reality. I would recommend Chris to anyone.
Katrina Slocum: I took my first class in August and I am so happy I did Chris is an absolutely amazing teacher, I was nervous at first because I can't even draw a straight line but he made me feel so confident that I finished a beautiful painting and am now trying to get my church to host a class. If you want to relax but have a fantastic time doing so take a class you won't regret it!
Christine Young: I have purchased numerous paintings by Chris during charitable auctions. He is constantly giving back to the Arts, and his paintings are absolutely fabulous! Additionally, I commissioned him to paint an Eagle for my son’s Eagle Scout ceremony, giving him free reign. Chris absolutely nailed the assignment. My husband and I could not have been more pleased. I have also taken several of his classes over the years and I highly recommend them! They are perfect for all ages and abilities. Chris makes them fun and interactive. He is truly a genuine guy!
Patty Evans: We had a great time in class with Chris Davis . He's very patient and guides you through the project. He has a great sense of humor and he chats it up with everyone. Suddenly you have this great painting, all are slightly different, and you've spent a nice time with old and new friends. Highly recommend that you take a class or two with him!
Shannon Krenisky: I would not want another paint instructor. Chris was so easy to work with and our party had so much fun! I am going to schedule another party for this spring. Chris Davis is the best!
Shelley: My Friends and I have attended many of Chris's sip & paint classes. We are addicted to them. Chris is very patient with people, and does step by step instructions .He always tells us that there are no mistakes, then he fixes them for us. When you look at the paintings that he has done you don't think yours will ever look like his, but as you keeping painting you will be amazed at how good your painting looks. If you try one of his classes, you will definitely be back for more.
Becke Beeman: Chris was amazing as our instructor for my bachelorette sip and paint!! We all had a wonderful time. I also commissioned Chris to do a portrait of my dogs. I gave him individual pictures of them and he was able to capture their likeness into a single painting. The painting could not be more spot on, especially their eyes. I can feel my dog’s “throw that ball now” stare every time I look at the picture!! It is truly perfect. 10/10
Jackie Sholtis: I have been to several of Chris’s paint classes and have been very happy with the outcomes of each one I have done. I can’t paint for anything and the way he teaches his classes, his patience with every question asked and he helps you fix your mistakes is exactly how a great teacher should be! He’s a natural born one! You leave with a self proclaimed masterpiece! I would never be able to do it on my own!
Charlotte Fuchs: Chris teaches a very fun and educational class. He is a very positive, understanding , knowledgeable and patient person. He teaches in a way that anyone will learn . Everything is done in free hand. Chris teaches you how to see the shapes in the things you are painting to make it easier. He also paints step by step with you and will come over one by one with you to help guide you if you need him to. By the time you are done your painting will look amazing and you will feel very good about it. He is the best artist I know. He always makes everyone feel so calm while they are painting with him.
Ashley Stoneman: We hired Chris to do a paint party at our location. Chris was very easy and awesome to work with, from scheduling our date/location months prior, up until the day of the event. Chris’ class was so much fun and very organized! Everyone left the paint party with smiles on their faces and nothing but awesome things to say about the class! We can’t wait to have Chris teach us another class in the future!
Sue French: I have been to many paint and sips led by Chris Davis. He is an amazing teacher! You walk in thinking you can't even draw straight line, and you leave with a gorgeous picture! His instructions are simple and easy to perform. I love seeing his artwork on display during the paint and sips! He is truly gifted! I have also purchased a piece of art from him and he made it very easy to meet up with him to get it. His talent is truly amazing!
Autumn Nagle: If you are a socially anxious person like myself you will love taking his classes or commissioning him for artwork! He makes you feel at ease and if you don’t know how to paint he makes you feel like a master painter! I’ve done multiple paintings with him and each time it turns out perfect (and trust me I’m no artist). I have recommended him to multiple people both family and friends and they enjoyed his classes as well!
Mary Ann Kline: There is not enough room on here to fit all the good things I could say about Chris Davis. He has been the Art Director for musicals Bill and I directed at Edgewood High School. So easy to work with and full of creative ideas ( Addams Family some day, Chris Davis!!) We have some of his original artwork in our home plus items he painted for our musical sets . Love it all! I have taken several classes from him . He is a patient and encouraging teacher . One of the best!
Judi Chabola: I have worked with Chris many years on the productions at Edgewood High School. We are part of the “ Dream Team”. We have collaborated on so many ideas, and laughed while doing it. I have commissioned him to do some art for my Son, and I have a few props that he designed in my home as mementos.
He is a great guy, a dream to work with, and always ready to advance his talent to the next level!
Shelley Fertig: My Family & I have been to several of Chris's painting classes. He has a lot of patience. He goes step by step and let's us take our time. If we need any help he will stop and help us. He is a good instructor and my family, my friends and I will continue to take his classes. We never leave disappointed with our painting. He is very encouraging. Chris always tells us there are no mistakes.
Sherri Kellogg McBride: My 10 year old has taken several of your painting classes. It is the only class I know of that provides him with real art knowledge while he's having fun creating.
Mary Jo Carney Vasti: You are a great teacher for all ages. Your patience, knowledge and skills help all of us create beautiful paintings even if we have never painted before.
Joan Malkie: Taken several of your classes, plan to take more. You are so patient and so encouraging.

Bridget Clough: I've attended two classes. One with children and one without. Both were amazing! Chris did an awesome job helping the kids feel more comfortable painting! Great teacher!
Devon: Chris is a great teacher! I have taken several of his paint &sip classes and have learned a new skill every time. He breaks the painting down step by step and explains everything in an easy to understand way. Even if it you never painted before you will go home with a masterpiece. Chris is very personable and makes everyone in the room feel important. If you sign up for one of his classes you will have a great time.
Sandra Peterson: Chris is so talented! His artwork is unique and amazing. I would recommend him without hesitation for a commission piece. I’ve taken many of his paint n sip classes. They are fun, he is a relaxed, patient and kind teacher, and helps willingly when needed.
Sue: I went to my first paint and sip several years ago with zero artistic ability. When I showed family and friends my painting, no one believed I did it because it turned out so good!! Chris breaks everything down and is able to make things make sense to us with no talent!! Try it! You will be amazed at what you can do with his wonderful art and teaching skills!!!
Carole Montgomery: I’ve taken several beginner art classes in my life ( I’m 80). Always felt others had talent, but I’m inept, and dropped out. One more time with Chris…he’s helpful, his
Style is respectful not demeaning, encouraging, makes you want to do more! I have a new hobby.. because I found confidence, in Chris’ class , I’m not ashamed to show my work!
Thanks Chris
