Who is Blair Latos?

Blair was born and raised in Gilroy, CA, and has made Reno-Tahoe her home for eight years.

Blair was introduced to art classes in high school and loved the expression of painting immediately. Rather than studying art in college, she pursued and received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Nevada in 2019, which she employed for four years, working part-time as a surgical nurse while expanding her now full-time art business.

Blair focuses on creating the highest quality original paintings for homes and businesses. She makes large-scale interior and exterior murals and provides painting services such as art classes and live painting entertainment at events. In all of her work, Blair consciously expresses love, joy, and energy in each brushstroke.

Blair is active on Instagram, where you can follow her work as she creates it. This is also where she shares tips, how-to’s, behind-the-scenes, and inspiration and encouragement for other artists and professionals. Blair’s newsletter gives updates on events coming up, classes offered, first peeks on new artworks, and special offers.

May you be inspired to create your own beautiful experiences!

Today I was making a listing on my website for an upcoming painting class I’m hosting and realized I didn’t have many pictures to use for it. So, I asked Bing’s Image Creator AI to generate some for me. The first four are my favori
Earth attracted itself together and became solid. Everything that will be in the future exists now in disparate particles. I am disparate particles forming into my own Earth. My future is attracting itself, and I’m letting it materialize.
I paint a thing. Then I paint another thing. Then I paint one more thing. You could call me a painter.
It’s dark What mysteries live inside its infinite starry expanse I feel myself enter and float about eternally This place from which I came The forever oasis

The game-changing thought I came across in a book a few years ago was this. Plenty of people less talented, less determined, less intelligent, less financially sound, less informed, less pick-any-other-metric than me are out there living their live
My personal theory about life is we all opt in to have an experience on Earth before coming to Earth. As souls in the beyond, we all plan to meet up with each other at different times in our lives for different challenges, growth opportunities, pleas
