Every year around this time I like to share great holidays gifts for the whole family. My girls are six and seven years old and Ev and I are, well, adults. Here is a list of what we have absolutely loved this year and would definitely recommend for the family. Here is last years list, which(…)
These pics were literally burning a hole in my pocket after our Gallery Show for Sculpture Class last night. I am feeling blown away and so proud of the kids and the work that we do at Meri Cherry Art Studio. Sculpture for Kids is a passion for us. Our team worked for months brainstorming, creating, and(…)
My girls are hardcore into Halloween this year. They are insisting we decorate our house and have been going back and forth over costume ideas for months. Here’s hoping we have it all figured out in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we have done so many fun Halloween Projects for kids over the years, I thought(…)
Recently I received a really nice gift in the mail from my friend Patty Palmer, author and creator of Deep Space Sparkle.

It’s International Dot Day! We’re celebrating by finally sharing our Yayoi Kusama inspired Obliteration Room.

These 6 year olds totally rocked it and now I want to use cement for every project ever. *This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support. We’ve done paper mache with(…)
I started Julia Cameron’s 12 week program, The Artist’s Way, about 8 weeks ago. It’s my third time in the past 9 years doing the program. I first learned about the Artist’s Way from my cousin Erica Reitman about 20 years ago when we both moved to California. My cousin was doing it with a local(…)
