The Artful Parent Editorial team (Rachel, Anna, Andrea, Heather) loves to gather great content and fun, fresh art activities and sensory play ideas for kids.
Heather has a BA in Art Education and a MA in Art History. She's worked as an art educator in museums, colleges and elementary schools.
She now runs Masterpiece, a pop up art studio for birthday parties & playdates. One of the most rewarding aspects of her career is working with children and young adults to help them learn about art and to develop their own unique artistic abilities.
Rachel Jepson Wolf is the owner and founder of LuSa Organics (lusaorganics.com), a body care company specializing in herbal balms, soaps, and baby care. Rachel and her husband, Pete, homeschool their two kids in rural southwestern Wisconsin. Rachel is the author of two books: Herbal Adventures, a wildcrafting book for kids and their families, and The Unplugged Family Activity Book a treasure trove of offline fun.

Andrea lives in Cumberland, Maine with her family. Previous to working at the Artful Parent, she taught Kindergarten for many years, working with English Language Learners and she also spent time teaching at a local children’s art studio.
These days you can find her editing blog posts for the Artful Parent, helping run our Kids Art Spot and doing art projects with her own two children. Andrea enjoys hand-lettering, watercolor painting, and selling vintage kitchenware.
Jaime Herndon is a medical writer and a mom to a very active little boy who loves to learn. She drinks too much caffeine and reads too many books at one time. You can follow her new homeschooling journey on Instagram.
Anna is a lifelong Midwesterner who spent time as a barista, teacher, bookstagrammer, and party planner before landing at The Artful Parent. Now she spends her days well-caffeinated, parenting two crafty kids and planning the best creative activities to share with families like yours. You can hear from her twice a week when you sign up for The Artful Parent newsletter.
