Welcome!

I’m Cheryl, and I’m so glad you’re here! When it comes to kids’ art, I’m a super-fan. There’s some­thing so charming about the per­son­al­ity, char­ac­ter, and spon­tane­ity found in the art kids cre­ate.

After teaching Art to kids in grades K and up for over 20 years, I’m excited to share all I’ve learned with YOU. It’s my passion to help teachers and families share the JOY of ART with the kids in their life. Noth­ing is more inspir­ing than watch­ing kids of all ages dis­cover their abil­ity to be creative!
