Meet Our Team
Dina Murphy
Owner/Instructor
I graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art long, long ago! Art is my passion, but my family is my purpose! I have 1 boy and 2 girls. They all love art… in their own way! I opened The Painters Lounge in June of 2013, and it has been such a blessing to my life. We have built such community around art and we love and appreciate every one of you that comes through our doors! Thank you for allowing us to find the Picasso in each of you!
Liliana Mora

Liliana Mora has been teaching with us for 7 years! She comes to us from Buffalo, NY, has her Bachelors in Fine Arts, and boy is she talented! She specializes in large scale murals and has the heart of a teacher. She lives 3 blocks from The Painters Lounge, and loves our Roosevelt Row Community. Check her out @liliana__moraart
