Happy faces are kind of Tay’s thing.
Hi, I’m Tayler.
I’m the face, hands, and happy heart behind Paint With Tay. I’m a Nanaimo-based artist who genuinely loves colour, creativity, and the joy on someone’s face when they see themselves transformed into a tiger, a butterfly, or their very own wild idea.
You’ll usually spot me in my trusty grey overalls and comfy boots, palette in hand, chatting away with kids and grown-ups. I’m patient, friendly, and I take real care to make every guest — no matter their age — feel comfortable and special.
