Aleigha Reott
(AKA Ms. Pink!)
Owner & Operator
I grew up in a very creative family near Raleigh, NC. Art has always been an essential part of my life! I received my MAEd with concentration in textiles and my BFA in metalsmithing from East Carolina University (GO PIRATES!). I taught elementary school art in the public school system in North Carolina. My husband and I moved to Georgia in 2012, where I also taught in the Marietta school system. I then started and ran painting events as MsPinkATL/PaintNiteATL for 9 years. Opening my own studio has always been a dream of mine! (I played roller derby and my name was Kick-Her Doodle, which is where the studio gets its name!) I have two black cats (Nacho and Jammer) and a husband (Mike)! ​
I have taught students from age eighteen months to senior citizens and have over 20 years of art instruction experience. I have also taught children and adults with special needs. I have taught multiple mediums including drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles, sculpture, metalsmithing, design, clay, and mixed media. I look forward to creating masterpieces with you soon!

Leah Steiner
Art Instructor
My name is Leah and I am a self-taught artist from Chapel Hill, NC. I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2021 with a bachelors in Communication and Women and Gender Studies. I have always been a creative person but it wasn’t until 2020 that I started using that creativity in an artistic way. For my capstone Women and Gender studies class, I chose Art in Activism and it was during that class I found myself in a love affair with art and artistic expression. My group ended up winning the first ever creative activism award for our project titled “Mutant.” Over the past 4 years, I have fallen in love with painting, experimenting with acrylics, oils, and watercolors. I branched out, exploring charcoal, sewing, sculpting, and poetry.
