Hi, I’m Cara!

I am an elementary art teacher, and I’ve been teaching K-5 art for more than 15 years. I believe beautiful things happen when you invite children to engage in authentic, age-appropriate, art experiences.

I have a BFA , an MA in Art Education, and a doctoral degree in Instructional Leadership, but don’t worry! You don’t need to be an art teacher or even an artist to join in this program.

I am also a mom to two boys, ages 7 and 10.

Helping children understand and enjoy the visual arts is my passion.

I created Kids Art Projects 101 to help you save time and inspire the kids in your life!
