Hello

I’m Megan, owner and founder of The Art Cart. I live in northern Colorado with my husband and our two children. My children have always had a love for art and the experience of being able to experiment with new materials and create something beautiful. To us art is a sensory experience, an opportunity to unwind, a visual expression of creativity, and most importantly, it’s fun! My oldest is autistic and I noticed from an early age the power process art had to help him not only feel empowered by his creative work, but with no wrong moves in process art, it gave him an emotionally safe space that didn’t have expectations for how things “should” be. It’s his happy place! My youngest loves to experiment with different techniques in art. Her favorite is tapping her paintbrush to make splatters and calling them freckles, just like she has. She never liked her freckles until she started noticing their beauty in her art. Process art has been such a gift to our family and I want to continue spreading that joy to other families. I have a long history of working with children in different personal and professional settings. My hope with The Art Cart is to help children see how beautiful their uniqueness is, how beautiful art can be even if you hadn’t considered yourself an “artist” before, and how flexing those creative muscles benefits you throughout many areas of life.
