In the quaint, enchanting state of New Hampshire, nestled amidst the grandeur of towering mountains and lush, verdant forests, a curious activity brings glee to the young inhabitants. This isn't the usual hide-and-seek or a game of tag; rather, it's an adventure that splashes rainbows on white canvases, a magical activity known as painting! Meet Puddle Paws, the imaginative raccoon with a flamboyant tail, who is the leader of this colorful troop. Puddle Paws is not just any raccoon; he’s a raccoon with a funny beret, a paintbrush in one hand, and a never-ending palette of paints in the other. His radiant colors are the talk of the town, and his tail, well, it looks like a rainbow exploded on it! The kids of New Hampshire eagerly gather around Puddle Paws every weekend. They dive into their imaginations, using every color of the spectrum to bring their visions to life. From painting the crimson leaves of fall to the sparkling blue lakes, these kids are little artists in the making. Every painting session with Puddle Paws is filled with laughter, silliness, and colorful whirlwinds. Paint often ends up on their cheeks more than their canvases, and sometimes, if you squint your eyes just right, you might spot a child with a rainbow tail, just like Puddle Paws! So, in the heart of New Hampshire, where the mountains kiss the sky, a peculiar raccoon and his band of merry painters fill the world with colors, one giggle and paintbrush stroke at a time.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
Since retiring from the Air Force, I have been able to fulfill one of my life long dreams. I now have my very own art studio! I have been painting, drawing, and creating art for over 40 years now and I am excited to continue this passion of mine. I also offer art classes in my studio for people of all ages. It is such a great feeling to be able to share my passion and talents with my students!
