🎨 Children’s Art Classes — “Art from the Heart”

Hosted by Marnie | Ongoing Since 2017 | Most Recently at Ruby + Begonia, Mount Pleasant, Texas

Where Creativity Meets Connection

Since 2017, Marnie has been sharing her love of art with children through her joyful, unstructured, and wildly creative “Art from the Heart” classes. These workshops aren’t just about painting—they’re about expression, laughter, and celebrating the wonderful weirdness that makes each child unique.

Over the years, Marnie’s classes have been held at several community spaces, but her most recent sessions have taken place at the beautiful Ruby + Begonia in Mount Pleasant, Texas — a stunning boutique and creative hub known for its non-toxic home products, candles, laundry care, and fragrances that are safe for kids, pets, and the planet. You can visit them at www.myrubyandbegonia.com.

A Splash of Fun and a Whole Lot of Heart

No two classes are ever the same. The kids have:

  • Shot paint through water guns,
  • Launched paint-filled water balloons,
  • Made leaf and vine stamps,
  • And even painted with their fingers, hands, elbows, and feet!

Each session is filled with laughter, teamwork, and creativity — a space where every child feels free to be themselves. Conversations flow easily as they share stories, jokes, and ideas. Together, they build not just art, but community.

“It’s not just an art class, it’s a heart class.” 💖
— Marnie

Ruby + Begonia — A Perfect Partner for Creativity

Ruby + Begonia’s owners and team have built a business rooted in beauty, wellness, and love for their community. Their store offers handcrafted, non-toxic, environmentally friendly products made with care — an atmosphere that pairs perfectly with the spirit of Marnie’s classes. The shared values of creativity, kindness, and sustainability make this partnership truly special.

More Than Paint on Canvas

Marnie’s goal has always been to help children see art as an extension of their inner world — a way to explore feelings, connect with others, and celebrate individuality. These classes are filled with joy, messiness, curiosity, and a deep sense of belonging.

Every splash of paint is a reminder that art isn’t just what we make — it’s who we are.
