Testimonials
"ArtLife presentations and programs are just joyful and heart felt...They delve into the soul of every participant, retrieving and releasing a colorama of creativity, voice and movement... artistic living on so many levels. You can't help but be moved and effected for "life" by the art and the artists brought to your door."
Susan Tucker, School Instructional Coach, Duval County Public Schools

"Working with Karen was an absolute pleasure. She took the time to really understand what the social cognitive and emotional goals were that I had for my students, and then helped me find first the best medium, and then the best artist to fulfill those goals. The artists who worked with the kids really connected with them; building relationships and going above and beyond. The culminating performances and art shows were a true delight for parents and students alike. I would recommend Artlife to any educational institution that’s focused on the whole child."
Dani Slader, Program Director, YMCA, Northeast Florida
"ArtLife delivers the most engaging, smart, and fun hands-on art education programs we've ever had at our centers. I would recommend ArtLife to anyone looking for the best quality arts programs."

Spotlight on student success
"The arts give a generation the ability to define its own time. It seems to me on a very grassroots level, the future survival of the arts in this country may have something to do with the artists, playwrights, and dancers opening their world to the next generation...There is nothing more inspiring for students than to meet an artist who has managed to make a life of creation and, frankly, there's nothing more inspirational for an artist than being in touch with the future."
