History

Established in 2011.

Corks N Canvas was started in 2007 by Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney in Mandeville, Louisiana.

With four locations in the Greater New Orleans Area, the company began franchising the business under the mark Painting with a Twist® in 2009. To date, 247 franchise locations are open all over the country. Headquartered in Mandeville, Louisiana the company maintains the artwork copyrights and brand direction of the franchise locations to insure that every location produces the same fun experience by which the company was founded.

We were customers long before we became owners. Painting With A Twist is such a fun, happy place to be. The only stress you should have here is keeping your paintbrush out of your wine glass.

Some people go their whole life going to «work». We don’t feel like we work at all, because we love being in the studio. Seeing all the birthday celebrations, anniversary parties and even a few proposals. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.

We moved to the area from Dallas a few years ago for Clark’s job. We never thought we would say it, but this feels like home to us.
