Carolina Summer Sacks are now available in the online store!

I print each of these by hand from my own hand-carved blocks. This big bag is large enough to hold a towel and a book and water and more. With a long strap, it can sling cross body, or you can tie the strap to a shorter length. All cotton, the bags are washable and cold water bleach safe. Every one is a bit different as I create them one at a time. It’s always a good day to be in Carolina!

Deborah Cavenaugh Introduces A Collection of New Paintings By Eight-Year Old Wilmington Artist, Charlotte Armitage.

Charlotte, a student of Deborah’s and the daughter of Dr. Sam and Debbie Armitage, created these paintings from October 2009 through June 2010. Having just completed the second grade at Friends School, Charlotte paints about the things that interest her, delight her and tell her own story. Her works are complete, composed, colorful and, just like Charlotte, bring such joy to the world.  With impressive drawing skills and tremendous brush control, her technique, artistic insight and abilities belie her age.  Charlotte also writes fiction and poetry, composes for violin and piano, and sings in a beautiful, child’s soprano..

Article about Deborah Cavenaugh’s student Charlotte Armitage

“Deborah helps me with my strokes, layering paint the right way, blending the paint and learning cutting out techniques. Like Like mosts artists, Charlotte has a favorite time and place to paint, but her mom shares with a smile, “Charlotte would paint night and day if I let her.”"

“I want these art camps to not only have the basic goal that each child  creates  beautiful art, something they can  be proud of, but further, to develop their self-confidence and help them find their own, true artistic voice that I believe is inside of every person just waiting to be discovered.”     Deborah Cavenaugh

Give your child the opportunity to study with Deborah Cavenaugh in her personal studio.  There are five different themes spread over the eleven week-long camps. The camps are structured so that those who are already comfortable with art,  as well as those who are a bit intimidated, will both have a positive, successful experience.

Nine One-Week Camps Focused On:
Beautiful Art
Self-Discovery
Self-Confidence
Pride of Accomplishment

ALL LESSONS ARE TAUGHT BY DEBORAH CAVENAUGH.
