Recently canvases and paintbrushes have joined dinner and drinks as popular “fun night out” activities. Galleries like Painting with a Twist and Pinot’s Palette provide amateur painters (and professional drinkers) with an evening of art instruction combined with wine and tons of social interaction.

Kathy Mackey has been expressing herself through painting for many years. With this talented artist among us, we organized our very own art-filled afternoon to team build and create. Though there was no wine at our in-office, mid-afternoon retreat, there was no shortage of creative inspiration. Our wide variety of personalities resulted in an incredibly diverse range of muses and masterpieces. And the finished products were an impressive collection to say the least!
