National Artist, Deborah Cavenaugh, Is Offering Eleven One-Week Art Camps June 6 through August 28, 2010

“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

Great Art.  Pride of Accomplishment.  Self-Confidence.  Self-Discovery. Deborah Cavenaugh Summer Art Camp

We’ll bring all of our imperfections to the table and find the great joy of being our individual,  authentic selves.

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.

Deborah will work with each young artist from where they are now with the aim to help them gain confidence and find their own personal and true artistic voice.

Campers will use professional supplies in a professional artist’s studio. The students’ work will appear in our online gallery on this site, as well as be featured in a Deborah Cavenaugh School Art Show in the fall. Camp size is limited so that each young artist receives the attention they deserve. Students aged 9 and up with any level of artistic ability are eligible. Students under age 9 are accepted on a case-by-case review. Contact Deborah at 910-297-5383 to discuss any artists. All supplies and snacks are provided.

Deborah Cavenaugh has a BS in Education from the University of Virginia and is a full-time working artist in Wilmington, NC.  A well known artist in many fields (greeting cards, prints, originals, jewelry, commissions, illustration, etc.), her work hangs across the country in every state and well as internationally.  Known for her upbeat positive message, she paints her belief that “while you can easily list what is going wrong any day in your life, you can never get to the end of the list of everything that is going right even on the worst day of your life.”  Widely praised in the press and called “joyful,” “inspirational,” and “a role model,” Deborah considers herself to be an artist for the people painting about the “ordinary, beautiful  life we all have the opportunity to experience–if we are willing to see it is possible.”

All projects are NEW to this summer’s campers. No lessons from last summer will be repeated. If you are currently taking private lessons with Deborah, your experience in the summer program will be new lessons.

Camp is held in Deborah Cavenaugh’s NEW Studio, 4113-E Oleander, in Anderson Square, Wilmington, North Carolina. (PLEASE NOTE that Deborah will be in her current studio at 5028 Wrightsville Avenue through May 22.)

Each Camp is one-week long, running Monday through Friday from 9-11:30 am. Classes are small and taught by Deborah. All supplies plus snacks are included. Late pick up is available upon request.

Students aged 9 and up with any level of artistic ability are eligible. Students under age 9 are accepted on a case-by-case review. Contact Deborah at 910-297-5383 to discuss if you have a younger artist.

All lessons are taught by Deborah Cavenaugh.
