What another great event!

Thank you Paul and Kathy for a beautiful, delicious, New Mexican inspired luncheon,

and to all of the great women who came out on this snowy day to celebrate all things O'Keeffe! You did an amazing job and Georgia would be proud!

This group got to choose between O'Keeffe's 'Red Canna' and her 'Autumn Leaves';

The results were amazing.

Starry Night Success!

Thank you to everyone who came out on Wednesday evening to paint Vincent van Gogh's 'Starry Night' with us!

**No experience necessary!!**

Welcome to 'Art on a Carte; A Traveling Studio where Art, Food and Friendships Gather!' My name is Karra and I am a New York State and Pennsylvania certified Art teacher, I hold a Master's degree in Art and Education, and I have over 10 years of teaching experience. I am an art enthusiast, a lover of food, and a friend. My goal is to bring art into your life under the banner of good food and fun, while providing you with the tools and knowledge to pursue art on your own once you leave one of our events.

Any and all abilities are welcome, and no experience is necessary! Each lesson includes a color theory component, an art history component, and a painting component where everyone will complete their own painted canvas based on a major work of art.

I collaborate with restaurants, breweries and wineries, but I am also available to teach group lessons for showers, holiday parties, birthdays, play groups, veteran and elderly facilities, girl scout/boy scout groups etc.

'Art on a Carte,' is based on the notion of the traveling teacher, so let me come to you! I provide all art supplies, supplemental materials, set up and clean up.

Contact me today to book your gathering!

Let's paint!

"I studied for a semester in Vienna 15 years ago. After last night I had a vivid and colorful dream that I went back and it was so wonderful. I was saying, "I am so happy I'm here!"
