Helping kids become confident creative thinkers — one brave idea at a time.

"We feel so fortunate that our daughter has had the opportunity to learn from Kristin. She has a wonderful way of making every child feel comfortable, capable, and excited to create. It's clear that Kristin makes the art experience feel special, fun, and meaningful—not just another activity on the schedule. She comes extremely prepared with all materials and provides an excellent atmosphere for art, no matter what venue we're in. What stood out most was the way she truly took the time to know and connect with our child, always with a smile. Her warmth, kindness, and inspiring energy made Vanessa/our child feel seen, understood, and encouraged. She was attentive to my child's personality and interests, and she knew just how to support her in a way that helped her feel proud and excited to display and share her artwork. Through her guidance, our child developed greater confidence and independence, along with a stronger sense of creativity and a willingness to try new things. We especially appreciate how she celebrates each child’s unique work and makes art feel enjoyable rather than intimidating. Our child was always proud to show us what she created, many creations of which are now framed and on display at our home. She develops exceptional projects that are engaging for children while producing beautiful, meaningful artwork that families will treasure and we are so grateful for the positive experiences. The Young Artist Workshop was an exceptional experience - WOW - as it also gave the kids a chance to 'show off' their work with an 'opening event' which gave an opportunity for parents and other people in the community to enjoy and appreciate the artworks in a prime location in our local library. We highly recommend Kristin to any family looking for a talented, caring, inspiring and smiling art teacher. "

"Our kids (6 and 8) have been taking classes with Kristin for about 8 months and not only do they love it, but we love it, too! While they have both grown as little artists since starting, we’ve seen the most impressive changes in our six year old. He has become so much more confident in expressing himself through art and is willing to try new things, take risks and most importantly… create! Kristin is so dedicated! She shows up authentically and energetically for the kids every single class. They are not only developing their artistic techniques, but are harnessing lifelong skills that will carry them as far as the eye can see. Thank you Miss Kristin! "

"My son has been lucky to attend many of Mrs. Cafferty's art classes as well as her Young Artist Series Workshops. He enjoyed the Young Artist series so much he wanted to do it twice! He is often a very shy, anxious child but he comes alive in her classes. Mrs. Cafferty made him feel welcomed and built a relationship with him that helped him feel excited to do art. He has gained confidence not only in his art abilities but also in himself. He never felt like he needed to compare his work to others or make it look just like Mrs. Cafferty's model. He felt confident in his own creativity and made every art piece his own. "
