Started: Painting with a Twist started from humble beginnings in 2007 when two enterprising women - Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney - started doing their part to rebuild their Hurricane Katrina-devastated community. They wanted to create an escape for people to come together and have a little fun amidst the chaos - and that's precisely what they did!

From hosting the very first event in Cathy's "barn" to now hosting events in 300 franchise locations across the

nation, Cathy & Renee's small business they originally called “Corks & Canvas” has become an entire industry,

the paint & sip industry.
