Malerie - Owner #malpal

Hi, I’m Malerie and I am currently finishing up my Master’s in Business Administration from TAMU-CC! I received my Bachelor’s in Management and Marketing and I’ve been painting since before I could talk—luckily my little brother was too young to remember me thinking his face made a great surface for finger painting—and I love pretty much anything creative! In addition to painting, I dabble in other crafts including coaster making, graphic design, fun makeup looks, and photography. My minor obsessions include Christmas, corgis, iced coffee, true crime, turtles, lettering, and collecting shot glasses. I love being a part of Painting with a Twist and sharing my love of art with others!

Celeste - Studio Manager #celestechickenbreast

There are very few things that I enjoy more than painting and drawing. I was an art major at UT Austin, where I spent countless nights in the studio making messes (and maybe a little art, as well). Currently back in my hometown of Corpus Christi, I enjoy spending my time with family and friends, going to art walks and local farmer’s markets, and creating things. Painting is an incredible mode of creativity; not only can we express ourselves through the creation of an image, but here at Painting with a Twist, we have lots of fun doing it!

Corynne - Assistant Manager #corn

Hi there! My name is Corynne & i was born and raised in Corpus Christi! I love our city! I am a collector/hoarder of things I love, whether they be manga, make-up or art supplies -- that I swear I am going to use. I like to spend my days bingeing TV shows while my puppies’ sit on my lap, I usually try and balance a sketchbook on top of one of them; they make good lap desks… sometimes. I have always loved art and have even received my bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with a teaching certification from Texas A&M Corpus Christi. I love making art, but more importantly, I love teaching people to make art! I have always believed making art should be fun, which is why I think Painting with a Twist is such a great fit. Come paint with me!!

Mabel - Senior Artist #persephonemabel

I'm from a small south texan town called Falfurrias. Since I was very young, it became apparent that the only things I had going for me were my interests and skills in art related activities, I embrace this completely. The only other thing that brings me joy besides making art, is helping other people find joy through making art.

Megan - Senior Artist #CatMomMegs

Megan is a natural born artist with a big personality! This gal has been instructing for 5+ years, so rest assure, you are in good hands. Her hands down favorite thing about working for PWAT is seeing the guest light up knowing they walked in with a blank canvas and are walking out with something beautiful they did on their own. Not to mention they got to hang out with the best instructor ever!!! Having this Cat Momma as your artist is always a great time.

Mary #maryquitecontrary

I was raised in the Hill Country and I grew up watching and helping my Mom and Grandma paint! My Dad got me into the outdoors with archery and fishing as soon as I was walking. I enjoy being outdoors whether on water or land. I followed my arrow to Corpus Christi for college and fell in love with the beach! I love having craft days where I’ll work on one of my various projects often including: painting, scrapbooking, or sewing. I’m looking forward to these days with you at Painting with a Twist!!

Cora #CoCoCora

Hi! I'm Cora and I am currently pursuing a Major in Design/Technical Theatre and Minor in Dance at TAMU-CC! Basically, I'm studying how to design and execute productions on every level other than acting and directing. This means costumes, hair and makeup, lighting, sound, and sets! I have always had a creative soul and have been expressing myself through painting, drawing, and performing since I figured out what feet were. I trained in classical ballet and many other styles of dance for 15 years and have painted more canvases and backdrops than I can count! I also dabble in Body Art with Face Painting and Henna Tattoos and am currently learning the art of the needle as a tattoo artist. I love all things Disney and beach related and I am always down to dress up! Art has been a big part of my life and I cannot wait to share my love for creativity with you!

Sabrina #TheFabSab

Hello, I’m Sabrina! I moved to Corpus Christi in 2017 so that I could be near the ocean and stay in Texas all at the same time. I am currently finishing my BA at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. Art has always been one of my greatest joys and some of my earliest childhood memories involve a pencil in one hand and sketchbook in the other. I enjoy all forms of art including painting and sculpting as well as non-traditional styles. I’ve even painted with wine and coffee - I believe anything can be made into artwork and it is much more than a square canvas or sheet of paper. I hope that you will also discover your own love for art and thinking outside of the canvas with me!

Danielle #CCDaniB

Hello, I am Dani! I am a senior at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi majoring in ESL education. I love teaching art and being part of the Painting with a Twist family. My favorite color is orange because I love orange soda and the Texas Longhorns. I am a huge Disney nerd and have a cat named Dinah, like from Alice in Wonderland. I also like to do other crafts like candle making and wire wrap jewelry. My inspiration is my infamous mother Maria Brito and the colorful billionaire artist Romero Britto. Let’s all make a painting full of colors together!

Howdy! I’m Jersey but I go by Jay. I was born and raised here in Corpus. I enjoy working with almost all art medias! Acrylics, Charcoal, Watercolor, Digital Art, 3D Art and animation! You’ve got an idea? I can help you bring it to life! I’ve got a lot of ideas going on in this brain of mine. I’m an animal lover and I love to talk about my babies. I’ve got interesting hobbies such as Fursuiting, Cosplay making and dying my hair WAY too much! I LOVE making Art and spreading my creativity everywhere I possibly can, it’s always been a passion of mine.
