Dynasty Artist Sandy McTier at Splashes of Hope

Dynasty Artist Sandy McTier of Sandy McTier Designs recently spent some time in New York to teach a three day painting seminar with the Decorative Artists of Western Nassau (DAWN) and to attend Dynasty Brush Paint Night with Splashes of Hope. Here Sandy talks about her experience: 

I taught a three day painting seminar with the Decorative Artist of Western Nassau Chapter (DAWN) in Long Island, NY and invited Veronica Towey (Dynasty Brush Director of Marketing) over so that the painters could do some brush shopping! They scooped em up! They loved having Veronica there and enjoyed a pop-in visit from Greg Mink, Dynasty's Vice President of Sales.  

This was my first trip to NY and to the FM Brush Company and they made me feel right at home and part of the Brush Family!

I noticed immediately what a tight-knit family-run business FM Brush is! There is a genuine passion that can be felt in the building and in talking to the people in the office as well as the brush makers--to carry on the family business and make the absolute best brushes available. 

The factory tour was amazing! I got to see where and how the brushes were made. From loading the ferrule with the best bristle materials available, to the crimping of the ferrules on the handles--with a beautifully crafted antique crimping machine. it gave me that much more appreciation for the love and craftsmanship that goes into creating every single last brush! 

The DAWN ladies were invited to attend the Dynasty Splashes of Hope Event and we were all thrilled to see so many of them show up to help paint on the murals. Several ladies returned to continue working on the details of the murals which was AWESOME! 

The venue was spectacular! Who wouldn't want to have their studio spaces in a castle?? 
Tony, the videographer, taped some educational and informative brush tutorials with me and fellow Dynasty Artist Shar Sosh. Splashes of Hope Ambassador Ethan shared all of his special and favorite Dynasty brushes with Tony. Splashes of Hope Face Painter Sandy painted up faces using Dynasty Theatrix brushes.

The entertainment of a live one-man band performer set the mood for fun, fellowship and lots of paint slinging!
