CJA · Creating Together

Working alongside your kids to create an heirloom for your home.

Children grow and seasons change — but for a few hours, your family creates something together, holding this beautiful, messy, joyful chapter exactly as it is.

What families say

How it works

  1. 1

    Prep & palette

    You choose a size and color palette suited to your family, and we prepare a canvas in advance, setting the foundation for the piece your children will create.

  2. 2

    Paint together

    Your children paint with hands-on direction from Carolyn, layering color and movement into a work that is entirely their own.

  3. 3

    Finish & deliver

    The artist completes the painting with a few final touches, then varnishes, wires, and delivers the ready-to-hang artwork to your home.

Why choose this

A custom piece your family will love investing in

  • A lasting reminder of this season

    Every piece carries the memory of the afternoon your family made it together.

  • An heirloom they’ll cherish forever

    A one-of-a-kind original to pass down — not something to replace.

  • Gallery-quality, produced by the kids

    Finished by a working artist, so it genuinely belongs on your wall.

  • Exposure to the joy of creating

    Kids get hands-on time discovering how real art is made.

  • Fun for parents and kids

    An afternoon everyone actually enjoys — happy mess and all.
