Hi! I'm Julia. I love to teach art to children and help families bring more creativity into their daily lives. I am a mom to two little artists, and I do my best to embrace the mess that comes with life as a parent all while doing our best to live creatively.

Major Faves of the moment: . . 1. This book all about color (😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍) by @cruschiform cant stop looking at it, and neither can my kids. 2. This yarn from @darngoodyarn it has stolen my heart and I am cool with that. ❤️ . . What are you crushing on right now?
Favorite spot in my home.💛 Thanks @lydacherie for lending us this gorgeous work all of these years.
#blessthismess and this little art space that has been receiving so much use these days. It’s always been one of the happiest spots in our home, and, might I add, it’s one of the tiniest spots in our home, too. That’s right. The space we use to create art is quite small. Just a corner and part of a hallway, off our dining room. Would we love more space? Sure! But we are so happy with all the creativity that happens in this little spot every day. So, whether you have a small table and a rolling cart or an entire room devoted to creating I am always wishing you days full of creativity. 🌈🎨✨
Clay bird creations to welcome spring. . . Since starting homeschooling we joined a co-op...or maybe it’s not a cop-op and more of a homeschool program...well, it’s incredible, the teachers are so imaginative and today when my oldest came home with this creation my jaw dropped. A fancy clay hummingbird with the most whimsical beak around. A perfect pairing to a tall tail folk tail. 🌸🌼🌸🌼
Found object Unicorn Gardens, complete with their very own unicorn. My kid’s think these will lure those tricky leprechauns right to their leprechaun traps tomorrow. What do you think? . . Best kid innovation? Clothespins for the unicorn’s legs. Kids are geniuses. ✨🌈🦄
Art for days...can’t stop. Won’t stop. Need more wall space. 😂
✨UNICORN ✨ GARDEN! ✨ . . I don’t think there could have been a happier way to end a week. Clay work turned into texture exploration, which morphed into a mystical land of unicorns and rainbows and sparkles. ✨🦄 The imaginations of children are such beautiful places to be privy to observe. Happy Friday! 🦄✨🌈
Sometimes we spend our down time scrolling through artsy IG feeds looking for a little eye candy and inspiration. Today, my youngest stumbled upon this cute project from @heart_artlife and she went straight to her art table and began to create it for herself. I can’t express the happiness that filled my heart watching her take her inspiration and turn it into a reality. Her feeling of accomplishment carried us through the entire day. Is there anything better? 💛🌈🎨✨
Playing with mirror images with an art classic. These kids could seriously do this all day. 🦋🌈✨
