Meet Shauna Hansen, Studio Co-Owner at Painting with a Twist. Painting with a Twist is perfect for a bachelorette/bachelor party, bridal shower, or even just a date night out! Drinking wine while painting? Yes please!

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?
Painting With a Twist offers a unique, memorable experience for the Bachelorette and her friends. Paint and sip wine (or your favorite beverage) and have a great time as one of our artists help guide you through the creation of your own masterpiece!

What’s a weird/unusual tip you tell your couples?
Remember what’s most important. Weddings are never just about the two of you, the honeymoon is! That being said, take into consideration that you will need to learn how to work and cooperate with family members that are trying to help you.

What’s your favorite thing about what you do?
Being surrounded by art and watching people who have never painted before discover their inner-artist!

How did you get to where you are now?
Originally an accountant, Shauna has had a passion for art since high school but chose to pursue a stable career over her love of art.
