Caroline's Bio

Caroline teaches art in Seattle Public Schools and privately as part of Wonder Art Program www.wonderartprogram.com. She focuses on supporting each child’s creativity by listening intently to their movements and behaviors. This deep listening reveals children’s creative impulses, their hand/brain coordination and their feelings and reactions to life. Caroline cares deeply about her students and their involvement in the creative process.

“My love of creating has brought me to teach; it allows me to sit and relax with children and explore. I am at ease, aware of what is occurring and how the children are feeling. I offer guidance and attention when children need support and most of all allow all experience so children feel safe and inspired.

Besides offering this space, I integrate my knowledge of classical drawing and painting into my teaching; skills in rendering, value and line, color mixing, and spatial relationships. I have a deep respect for the hand eye coordination and knowledge one can develop from studying technique.

My hope for each child that I teach is that they feel inspired, creative and that I can offer them the knowledge they seek.

Retreat Introduction

The warmth and vitality of summer is upon us, always a wonderful time to get out and enjoy the lush beauty of the majestic Northwest. For the past three summers I have been fortunate to have lead Women's Retreats on the peninsula, Whidbey Island and Cedar Springs. This year the Women's Retreat happened a few months early and at the end of the weekend was the request to make the next gathering for EVERYONE!!! Well, it's time to gather again and you are ALL invited, family, friends and children.

Bring your friends and family, grab your mat, your kicks, and your imagination and join us for an inspiring weekend full of yoga, art, organic fare, and play. This is an inclusive getaway for deepening our connections with community and our appreciation for life. Come as you are, share what you can and let go of anything you don't need to make space for the gifts of Sangha, or “Community”, the Third Jewel.

Some of you have this information, others have already reserved a space, but for the rest of you it is a new opportunity that I hope you will consider and share with your friends.
