Creative Core Philosophy
This Art Program is dedicated to nurturing the individual child's love for creating. It's a safe place where children
are respected and encouraged to develop their unique passion for ART. We explore various techniques, playing with the process of MAKING. We develop "art muscles": strengthening skills, building confidence, and creating
a glorious mess ~ and inevitably, beautiful works of Art.

 

Thank you for entrusting your child to my care. I pledge to provide a secure and enjoyable environment for an exceptional Art Education.  ~ Ms. Kathy
