Have you found yourself wishing you were more creative or maybe you are just looking for something new to explore?

I've got you covered! My name is Mary Ellen, and I'm passionate about creating. Whether it is through paint, fiber, clay, writing, or movement, I've been exploring these diverse mediums throughout most of my life, and I'm excited to share that journey with you.

As a homeschooling mother to two children, we've been diving into arts and crafts since they could first hold play dough and paintbrushes. I’ve had the privilege of doing nature based arts & crafts with our co-op and have learned what caters to different age groups.

I welcome learners of all ages – from toddlers to adults – and offer flexible options including private one-on-one sessions, small group classes, or art night parties with your friends in the comfort of your home.

Have questions? I'd love to hear from you! You'll find more details below, and I look forward to helping you discover the creative artist within.
