Meet the Heart Behind the Art

Hi, I’m Casey!

The Summer Studio is my dream come true.

I’ve spent years in “the system” walking with people through all kinds of life chapters. Children learning how to belong. Adults reaching for words to hold what they feel. Survivors finding how to live and move with what they carry.

I’ve seen how art can make space for things too deep for language. It became that space for me. A way to grieve, listen to my intuition, and make meaning.

Somewhere along the way, I returned to my own joy, sense of wonder, and ever playful spirit.

The Summer Studio is a reflection of my path. A mobile art space that arrives in living rooms, backyards, birthday parties, and play dates. I bring the supplies, guidance, and setup. You bring your open heart.

This work is rooted in my years of experience in Montessori education, social services, and acrylic painting. But more than anything, it’s an offering of what I’ve lived and what I’m still learning to share with an open hand.

We create not to impress or perform, but to bring our inner worlds to life.

What people make here matters. That person might be your child. And it might be you <3
