Where Art Meets Celebration
Keiralee Ortiz has loved art for as long as she can remember. From the time she could hold a pencil, she was drawing, painting, and continually practicing to refine her skills. Over the years, art became more than just a hobby—it became a way for her to relax, express creativity, and connect with others. Now, she is passionate about sharing how art can bring that same joy, confidence, and calm to people of all ages.
At just 14 years old, Keiralee began turning that passion into something bigger by teaching others about art. While still in school, she started the first Art Club at her school, creating a place where students could gather, learn new techniques, and enjoy being creative together.
As her passion grew, so did her opportunities to teach. Keiralee began leading classes at senior living communities, hosting paint-and-sip events, and teaching art workshops throughout the Lincoln area. Her classes focus not only on technique but also on helping people relax, enjoy the process, and feel confident creating something of their own.
To pursue her growing business, Keiralee transitioned to independent study so she could dedicate more time to developing Holy Brush Strokes, her art and events business. Today, she teaches classes all over Placer County, hosts private paint parties, and sells her hand-painted artwork and creative pieces.
Keiralee is also expanding into new artistic experiences. In addition to teaching classes, she can be hired to paint or sketch live during events, providing a unique form of entertainment where guests can watch art come to life in real time.
Through Holy Brush Strokes, Keiralee continues to bring creativity, relaxation, and connection to people of all ages—helping them discover that art doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
We handpick stunning wineries, breweries, and unique spaces that elevate the experience beyond a typical paint night.
Step-by-step instruction means no experience needed. From first-time painters to seasoned artists, everyone creates something beautiful.
More than painting — it's about connection, laughter, and creating memories with friends, family, and new acquaintances.
“I attended the Tulips Sip and Paint with Keira and had such a wonderful time! The class was relaxed, fun, and easy to follow. Keira created such a comfortable atmosphere that made painting feel enjoyable instead of intimidating. I loved being able to unwind, be creative, and paint something beautiful without any pressure. It was such a lovely experience, and I would definitely recommend Keira’s classes to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing activity.”

“Keira did an amazing job from start to finish. She was incredibly professional, well-prepared, and had everything organized so the event ran smoothly. You could tell she had put a lot of thought into the class, and nothing felt rushed, confusing, or missing. Everything went so well, and the whole experience felt easy, polished, and enjoyable. Keira brought a calm, friendly energy that made everyone feel comfortable, and she made sure the group had what they needed the entire time.”

“I did my first paint and sip ever with Keira at Knee Deep Brewing, and I honestly had no idea what to expect. I had never painted before and always thought I would be terrible at it, but Keira made the whole experience fun, easy, and encouraging. We painted a ghost, and with her step-by-step guidance, my painting actually turned out way better than I ever thought possible. I brought it home and even my wife was shocked because she knows I’ve never painted anything before! Keira has a great way of making people feel comfortable, even if they have zero experience. I’d definitely do another class with her.”
