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.
