Meet the Author
Carolyn Holm
author of
"Everyday Art for Kids
hosted by Sue Spataro
interview and FREE craft idea
 Carolyn Holm the author of Everyday Art For Kids has always been surrounded
by art. Her mother created an atmosphere that encouraged and nurtured Carolyn and
her siblings to be creative and imaginative.  In
addition to making art from ordinary objects, like a used box, Carolyn also was busy
writing stories and poems as well. She found that even the most self-confident parent was
a bit unsure of themselves when it came to art. This propelled Carolyn to create a
tremendous resource for both parents and children so that they could do any project
successfully, that they desired. This provided the foundation for her book Everyday Art
For kids.
