Our Corpus Christi, TX Painting with a Twist Artists

Celeste..... Studio Co-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!

Malerie..... Studio Co-Manager..... #malpal

Hi, I’m Malerie and I am currently pursuing 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, turtles, lettering, sunflowers, and collecting shot glasses. I love being a part of Painting with a Twist and sharing my love of art with others!

Jessica..... #sayyestothejess..... Assistant Manager

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!!

Amanda.....#tatqueen

Aside from my love for painting, I am also a tattoo artist at The Fellowship Tattoo Parlor here in Corpus. I look forward to teaching a class with you all and helping you realize your inner Bob Ross!

Corynne.....#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!!

Mackenzie.....#mackandcheese

“I’m Mackenzie and I am currently a student at Texas A&M Corpus-Christi, pursuing a degree in Graphic Design. I’m a huge animal lover so you may see me stopped on the side of the road petting a random cat! Along with petting every cat I come across I do of course enjoy painting and any other medium of art I can get my hands on!”

Jordan.....#jordymcshorty

Hello, I’m Jordan! I’m a born and raised Corpus Christi, Texan! I have my Associates degree in Studio Art from Del Mar College and will be going to TAMUCC in the fall to complete my Bachelors in Fine Arts and get a Teaching Certification. I’ve spent most my time since graduating being a freelance artist. Besides my obvious love for art, I also am an avid collector of Pokémon items, along with other games and also a makeup hoarder! Doing makeup is another creative outlet for me alongside digital art and painting. I am also somewhat of a cat lady, currently at 3 inside cats and 2 outdoor cats. My family says that’s the limit..but we’ll see about that! I’ve always dreamt of being able to teach others how to make beautiful art! I can’t wait to spend my time with you at Paint with a Twist!

Mabel.....#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.

Christian...... #chriscrossapplesauce

Cherry.....#necessarycherry

I'm Cherry, and I love all things that let me use my creativity to its fullest. I am a cosmetology student who also dabbles in cosplaying and digital art. I've been drawing my entire life and find it to be a great outlet for myself. I am from the area but prefer colder climates and bigger cities. I'm obsessed with spooky things and spend most of my time either playing video games or working on an art piece. I love being able to make people happy with art that I make, and I'm really looking forward to teaching people to make art that'll make others and themselves happy!

Kiara..... #skaterpainter

I am currently enrolled at Blessed Hands Barber College and will soon be a licensed barber. If you’re big on hanging out downtown, you’ve probably seen my big hair and I roller skating down the seawall. I look forward to helping you create your next masterpiece.
