Following Hurricane Katrina, Cathy and Renee started a small business called Corks N Canvas. That business was packed every night with people who needed an escape from the toils of rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. Now, Twist Brands is the premier Arts & Crafts as entertainment platform with Painting with a Twist, Color Me Mine and Chesapeake Ceramics.
