Why Us

Artistic Relational Time

It is a time to process relationships and emotions through artistic expression. Creative play involves sensory exploration of texture, composition, imagination, creativity, and conversation. The Ocotillo plant is indigenous to multiple deserts in the Southwestern United States. Its bright crimson flowers may appear in spring, summer, and fall, especially after a good rainfall. The Ocotillo plant symbolizes harmonizing qualities such as soothing, calming, and grounding. Creating art can be just that: calming, soothing, and grounding for those of all ages and abilities.

What The Parents say

Rachael Harris and her art classes are so incredible. All 4 of my children have had the opportunity to attend camps and classes with Rachael, and it's always a creative and positive experience. It goes beyond arts and crafts, as it always has purpose and thought too. My children have grown artistically and socially and they have so much fun. Rachael is kind and welcoming and I highly recommend her classes to children of all ages.
