The Artist

​My name is Ekaterina Mocalis and I am the owner and artist at Create with Paint.  I have been painting for more than 20 years. My passion for art began when I was 8 years old living in Russia. Spending most of my childhood outdoors made me fall in love with nature and its fascinating beauty. The things that we often take for granted, is what inspires me most. I love recreating things that I see in nature and put my own touch to it to tell a story through color. I use bold colors to show passion through my paintings.  Painting is my quiet place, a time where I allow the paint brush and my imagination to create another world on a canvas. I have done several art shows in Temecula, San Diego and Laguna Beach to showcase and sell my art.  I want to be able to share my passion with others in a different way, a way where people are able to experience it for themselves. Create with Paint is designed to host step-by-step art events in different settings, where people can enjoy the beauty around them and experience new places as they create their own world on a canvas.
