Kathy Dino is co-founder of painting with a twist she has a simple concept a little -- -- Little wind and lot of fun.

Kathy thanks for being here.

I treated this morning seeking information and feedback from some of your customers and boy did I hear from them and I also heard from people who were curious so.

My questions come from them.

What is paint with a twist and where is it around the country.

-- with a twist is a concept where we.

Demystify aren't you coming and we've got an artist we've got everything you need and she walked she -- Pena -- and two to three hours.

With music going you bring your snack she being bring -- beverage of choice it's it's a fun night out it's it's a new fun night out.

And it you learn a little bit about art but this isn't heavy art pisses.

Art fund.

Is what it yes and it really gives art to the masses is what we like to -- Well I'm what I understand two people invite these parties and their friends to -- men.

And it's your chance for them just to get together than anything else but there is a piece of art at the -- you take it home to your bio what happens.

You take it home your are Europe sash and your feet -- coming and includes everything and then when you leave.

You get a piece art you can hang on the -- you can give it as a gift you can donate it to somebody.

It's a very good value your classes run 35 to 45 dollars you've had two or three hours of a lot of fun with your friends.

And and you get something to take home and you kind of feel like an artist of the night my business partner -- Maloney calls it karaoke art and you know you.

You feel like -- -- rock star when you doing karaoke what you really understand it.

Anybody can do art with a little instruction well karaoke is my guilty pleasure I have to try painting with a twist now how did you come up with this idea.

We Rene and I met when our kids -- in kindergarten and we get a lot of volunteer work together so we knew we worked well together from the get go out.

And after that we were trying to figure out something that we could do -- after Katrina and we were looking for some -- to do for our south.

And a good friend of mine John Hodge in France and rich called me out there artist in our community and they said about.

Speed art or something and we like I don't know about that none of you know and so we kind of built on that though and we did it -- in my barn.

-- with our friends and a teacher and everybody had a ball.

So we kind of new on to something and so we opened -- one little store in -- to the Louisiana which is on the North Shore of lake front to train.

And people driving to bridges and and to come they will lobby that and -- wanted to move.

Open one in New Orleans which is on the South Shore of the like an outline god that is the next fifteen years younger than -- she's got energy then made.

And I can't imagine.

Say she.

That we opened up in New Orleans and it exploded it all right so real quickly because I wanna get to the point your small business owner you employ people now how mentally and is -- franchised.

It is franchised we have eighty franchises.

I'm nationwide -- in seven.

Sixteen states we have eighty franchises.

We employee including nine people in -- corporate office.

But franchise wide we are one of the law we are the largest employer of artist not employ -- we're the largest higher.

Artists.

In the United States outside the school system as well how about Kathy do you know.

An idea that that kind of took shape in her barn.

I thought next time you're -- a gathering I'll be with you some apparent goal to thank you could blanket thanks wonderfully detailed in -- -- -- and yet you drink wine while you do -- -- won't really matter but that's all that's just yet thought up.

They say.
