About the Artist
Meet Cliff Harman
An Illinois native, husband, father of two sons and professional artist, Cliff Harman has spent his lifetime perfecting his craft. After leaving his corporate job of 16 years in 2014, Cliff decided he would focus on his art full-time, allowing him to become the artist of Sip Parties that you know and love. Since then, his work has been displayed in the White House, shown in commercials, has been included in celebrities’ private artwork collections and is currently completed for a pending film project.
Cliff also has a background in performance art as well. In 2004 and 2005 he was a part of a comedy troupe at Second City Chicago and did several years performing stand up comedy.

In love with the arts, the formation of Sip Parties in 2016 became a new outlet for Cliff to share his love for art and entertainment and turn everyone into an artist, if only for a night.

Cliff was so great! I had a private event I asked him to do for about 10 people and we all had a great time. He was very helpful with everyone who wanted individual attention. Everyone felt so at ease with him and I would definitely recommend him for your next party!
Ive been to many other companies for a paint night. I will not attend another paint party other than with SIP PARTIES. Cliff hosted a private event for my bachelorette party. He personally learned a two paintings himself to teach and walk through with our group. He was attentive, hilarious , and we all ended up with masterpieces. I don’t know another company which would learn pieces of art I chose and spend the time so patiently and encouraging the whole way through!
