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!
Cliff set up a really awesome Slightly Intox-O-Painted night at Pizzeria NEO in Saint Charles. Definite success! Everyone had a ton of fun and the paintings were fantastic! I heard some self-doubt going around about skill level and ability beforehand but I think Cliff did a great job- he was good at getting everyone engaged and he made sure the process wasn’t intimidating. The results were very cool. I think everyone left very pleased and seemed to have a really good time. Wine, good food and painting with a pro- what’s not to like?? Very unique. Looking forward to another.
