Carrie Naumann

Hello! I’m thrilled to introduce myself as a passionate artist and educator, now bringing my creative expertise to the heart of Beaverdale, Iowa. After years of working as a freelance designer for numerous magazines, I’m overjoyed to lead hands-on workshops for both kids and adults in my cozy little shop.

I host workshops for kids and adults. I love to learn new things and explore, especially with kids because they have a way of viewing the world and nature that is honest, curious and refreshing. I hope my kids and the children around me have a life-long love of learning and creative thinking. I wish this for adults too.

I have lived in Des Moines all my life and love the Midwest. As a mother of four amazing kids, I bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to everything I do. My background includes a BFA in Graphic Design, and I continue to take on freelance projects while nurturing my love for teaching art. I love my family & friends, movie nights, birds, gardening, color, type, babies of all kinds, design, board games, the beach, sharing ideas, cooking, paper, camp, art markers, lots of coffee, nature, good music, laughing until I snort, fabric & Christmastime. I absolutely love to share my creativity to anyone who’ll join in.
