We founded The Art Oasis on the idea that art and the creative process:
For this reason, we are the premiere mobile paint party service in Southeastern PA,
committed to serving our guests with the MOST fun, nourishing, stress-free creative experience ever!
Come spend some time with us in our Creative Caravan!
But why NOT paint?
Neuroscience tells us that "right-brained" creative endeavors bring us back to ourselves. And that is always a good thing. We know that painting is fun and entertaining, but also that it's not always about the paint or the project or the people. This is SO much more going on than a colorfully messy activity.
Painting is grounding and therapeutic in so many ways. So here are some science-y points for you to ponder:
They say some of us were born with "Silver Spoons" - Barbara was born with a box of pastels! She's been an entrepreneur & educator for more than 20 years, operating a hospitality staffing company and a recreational arts program that featured her proprietary S.M.Art Kids™ Adaptive Movement & Storytelling curriculum. She holds multiple wellness-based certifications and is happiest when she has paint in her hair, sequins in her socks, and beads in her bra. She lives to help hard-working people remember how to have fun again, release and recover from stress, and use their creative superpower to heal through humor, and colorfully personalized art. You can find her other work at: Creative Wellness Solutions.
Lauren is not only our co-founder but also Barbara's daughter and youngest child. Lauren is an infinitely talented preschool teacher. Since she was 4 years old, she has enjoyed experimenting with paint, especially nail polish, and embellishing clothing. She enjoys graphic design, and creating with beads, rock painting and collage. Lauren previously worked in the Hospitality industry, and helped Barbara Manage her hospitality staffing company. She is happiest when she is either planning to have or planning to go to a party. She lives to celebrate Life! Creating grazing boards for a crowd is her superpower. She shines at helping children and adults find the fun in learning through games & creative art.
Together they make an extraordinary creative team, ready to help you plan and navigate your next social celebration, team-building event, or creative fundraising experience!
In 2020 when our lives went "on pause", Barbara's Hospitality company... well... let's just say that offering "remote" services wasn't an option! But lucky for you, it wasn't. Barbara ultimately chose to dissolve the company and create with paper and paint.
Lauren's college classes were on hold indefinitely, and like many, they managed the best they could under stressful conditions, isolation, and an uncertain future.
To keep physically strong, emotionally grounded and mentally occupied, they turned a storage area in their drafty old, detached garage into a makeshift exercise room that morphed into a tiny art studio, that they fondly called "The Oasis".
"That musty old garage represents an Oasis in the midst of an ever-expanding desert of worldwide chaos. An Oasis that nourished and gave respite. In that space, our creative playground, we could escape, have fun, express emotions, manage stress and dream with color and creativity, of a future filled with hope, happiness and healing."
In early 2023 they began sharing creative projects with small groups of friends, family and others, online and in their humble homes, public parks, busy offices, welcoming eateries, local schools and community centers in Bucks County and beyond.
The principle of "fun for all and all for fun" is what guides this mobile and online studio, as well as related ventures. So, we invite you to come join our Creative Caravan and remember how to create - all for fun again!
We can't wait to Paint, Create & Celebrate with you!
