Two words about what I do every day, Art & Cats. I love all creative mediums but painting is my favorite, I got my degree in painting just for the fun of it. I am here to fulfill your creative needs! My art style is colorful, fun, and whimsical. My main subjects being nature and animals. When I’m not being creative in some way, I’m rescuing cats. My art funds my cat rescue work as I’m 100% voluntary.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Glowing Forest is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Suzy paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Suzy will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Suzy is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Applebees, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.
Yes — Glowing Forest is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Chico. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.
Suzy is a real local artist based in Chico — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Debbie L. said: 'It’s fun ! The instructor was very good with all of us and we found a new event to enjoy.'
Applebees is a local venue in Chico — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
Yes — we have 106 upcoming events in Chico this month. You can view them here.
Glowing Forest is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.
Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Chico, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Glowing Forest includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Suzy. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Applebees — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:30 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Suzy starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
