Art is for everyone
Hi! I'm Kaitlyn and I'm an art educator with 15 years of experience and I'm here to help and support teachers, children and artists of all ages tap into their creativity and help them gain confidence in their artistic abilities through high quality digital resources and lessons.
You're in the right place if:
You want to teach engaging art lessons to your students or children but lack the time or experience to plan the lessons you're striving for.
You are looking to warm up your teaching space with bright, colorful and modern art room decor.
You enjoy creating art but are looking for additional ways to continue to grow in your skillset.
Your school lacks an art program and you want to integrate high quality art lessons into your curriculum that will best serve your students.
A little about me:
I began my business in 2017 after years of sharing my lessons and hand drawn teaching visuals on Instagram. I gained so much wonderful feedback that I decided to start making my lessons and classroom creations available for all educators. There is nothing I love more than creating eye catching, happy and high quality resources for children and I am so happy to now be able to share with educators and children all over the world!
When I'm not teaching, you can find me painting in my sketchbook, walking my rescue lab Maddie, and spending quality time with my husband Chris and two children.
Throughout course of my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to teach visual art to thousands of children of all abilities and backgrounds.
I am unwavering in my belief that everyone can be an artist and that the arts play a crucial role in a child’s well-being. I live for the “ah-ha” moments and the excitement that appears on a child’s face when they have created something they are truly proud of. I love transforming spaces to create immersive art show experiences that allow students’ art to shine. I am passionate about providing high quality art education for adapted/autistic support/life skills art classes that are student centered, sensory and process based. The joy that teaching art has given me over the years is unparalleled and I look forward to continuing to reach students and teachers all over the world as I expand my lessons, resources, and inspiration. I can’t thank you enough for here!

My First Mini Course is Here: Botanical Silhouettes 🌱
Two years ago, I painted a silhouette of my daughter filled with blooming botanicals—and had no idea how much that single painting would change the course of my creative journey. At the time, it was simply a personal piece, created with love as I watched my daughter start to grow into the little lady she was starting to become. I decided to share this painting on my Instagram and was blown away by the reaction! Something about this painting seem to resonate with my followers: fellow moms, teachers, art admirers and soon after, I found myself sharing the process with others through my first ever adult art workshops. These workshops then morphed into online workshops and before I knew it, I had taught this lesson to hundreds of people—from fellow teachers to complete beginners—each one creating beautiful, heartfelt works of art inspired by someone (or some pet) they love. Teaching this lesson to other adults who have maybe always bee interested in art by rarely made the time for it lit a spark in me: I loved teaching adults. I loved teaching busy moms. I loved that I could create a special time for each of my attendees to look inward, focus on their own joy, practice and experience. I was also surprise to learn that after 15 years of teaching kids under the age of 12, that I could experience all of the same feelings of price and joy that filled my cup when teaching kids- but on a peer to peer scale. After teaching my Growth Mindset workshop over 10 times both in person and online, I am now thrilled to share that my first ever mini course is officially here! Introducing: 🌿Botanical Silhouettes: A Growth Mindset Mini Course 🌿 This self-paced course invites you to create a meaningful silhouette painting of a loved one using gouache, layered with plants and symbols of growth. It’s inspired by the idea that, like nature, we are constantly growing—especially when we allow ourselves to slow down, get creative, and make space for learning. What’s Included: ✔️ A detailed supply list (perfect for beginners)✔️ Pre-recorded video tutorials you can pause and rewatch anytime✔️ A Plant Painting Guide to build your confidence with gouache✔️ A step-by-step presentation that breaks down the whole process Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, this project is a beautiful reminder that creativity and growth go hand in hand. I hope it brings you the same sense of peace, joy, and connection that it brought me when I painted that first silhouette of my daughter. One thing I know is that when you finally say yes to your creative side, so much more than your art will start to grow. If you're interested in creating your own gouache masterpiece, click here to begin! 🌿 Happy making!
