Summer Art Camp Registration Is Open!

BlueStar Easel provides art for children in a home studio setting. Giving our kids fun opportunities to learn and grow while nurturing positive relationships through art, creativity, playfulness, and wonder.


Adults also need the chance to unwind. Embrace playfulness and create makery while strengthening relationships with family and friends. Opportunities for creative connections go beyond the paint brush to include crafting with an awareness toward nature and upcycling.

Hi! I’m Kathryn

I’m glad you found BlueStar Easel!

I am a married mom of 3 adult children and 6 amazing grandchildren. I have had the privilege of working with children and art my whole life, personally and professionally. Building community and positive relationships through creativity has always been a mission for me. While I look toward retirement from public education, I am looking forward to continuing the fun in my home studio space with paint, fiber, paper mache, laughter and more. Thank you for sharing your child with me and celebrating the gift they are (along with the paint, glue, pastels,...)

Joyfully, Kathryn
