Artist and instructor, Erika Tenney at the Paint Pour Academy. Also known as Fluid Art with Erika on her social media channels.

Hi, I’m Erika Tenney — artist, instructor, and founder of Paint Pour Academy.

I discovered fluid art after seeing a paint pouring video on YouTube and instantly fell in love with how color, movement, and creativity come together. What began as a personal creative outlet grew into teaching in-person classes, and eventually into Paint Pour Academy — a place where artists of all experience levels can learn without pressure.

Today, I teach paint pouring and resin art through online courses, videos, and a supportive community designed to help you learn at your own pace. I’m excited to guide you and can’t wait to see what you create.
