During that time Dawn began creating 5 new paintings
each weekend, taking photos of each step along the way to
create instructional "paint sheets" to help future artists lead
customers in acrylic painting classes. When Brush Crazy
opened, they started with 20 unique paintings, and within the
next 8 years, would expand that to over 1050 paintings from
artists within the Brush Crazy brand.
Brush Crazy opened its doors a day earlier than planned on
July 14th, 2016 here in Great Falls, Montana, starting with 5
painters, some of which who still work with Doug and Dawn.
As the years progressed Doug and Dawn went beyond the
canvas and added ceramics, wood pallet signs, wood cutout
shapes, glass painting, mosaics, 3d wood signs, and even
tie-dye t-shirts with over 1,113 unique designs, and with those
"paint sheets" everyone can pick their own designs, and paint
together even if they aren't painting the same thing.
As Brush Crazy continues to grow and flourish Doug and
Dawn have now franchised Brush Crazy in several different
states and look forward to seeing Brush Crazy in Great
Falls continue to be a blessing to the community. They have
relocated Brush Crazy corporate headquarters to Colorado
so they can be close to Dawn's Mother and help her after the
passing of Dawn's Father in September of 2022.
"We are thankful for the opportunities we have had in
Great Falls and continue to support the community. We are
franchising the Great Falls location and if you are interested
you can call us at the studio at (406) 315-4260. We hope you
come to Brush Crazy soon and Paint Your Way to Fun!"
