Brushes and Blessings started out as a small church ministry, in Mililani, Hawaii. We had monthly painting classes where people could come and learn to paint, and spend some quality time in fellowship. Quickly, the monthly classes grew from a small class of 6 to a regular class of 27, with 4 months of classes booked up! We had the opportunity to create friendships, and touch the hearts of many aspiring artists. This ministry took off like a flash. Soon, we were painting and teaching at different locations for different groups all over the island of Oahu.

We are looking forward to sharing our love of painting and teaching with you!

My name is Alex!

Hi! I’m Alexandria, the artist and new manager behind

Brushes & Blessings!

I’m a face painter, henna artist, paint party instructor, and all-around creative based in Eugene, Oregon. I love bringing color, joy, and connection to every event I’m part of, whether it’s a birthday party, community celebration, festival, or girls’ night.

Art has always been my favorite way to spark smiles, build memories, and help people feel special. With years of experience and a passion for playful, detailed designs, I focus on creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere wherever I go. Whether I’m painting tiny superheroes, guiding a group through a canvas, or designing custom henna, I bring the same care, kindness, and professionalism to every project.

Thanks for being here — I can’t wait to paint with you!
