History

artpicART Catering, Inc. was founded in August 1979 with only four employees. Ten years later, in 1989, Brenda J. Hingle, one of the founders, purchased the entire company, which has since grown into a major oil field catering and housekeeping service company. She attributes this success to quality of service and detailed safety procedures practiced by her outstanding staff of employees.
