Karen loves teaching the wonder of color! Karen and her Goddaughter, Jacquelyn would often play through crafts, coloring or simply exploring nature. “These were some of the happiest times watching her create art or identifying colors in their natural environment”. Jacquelyn learned all of her primary and secondary colors so very young, so now it was time to step it up! Soon enough, she was identifying colors such as periwinkle, teal & chartreuse.
Karen loves teaching about the wonder of color. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in both Early Childhood Education and Fine Arts.
