Why Parents Choose Lightkeeper Creative

The teen years are a time of exploration, identity-building, and sometimes, uncertainty. Many parents want to support their teen’s creativity, but also recognize the unique value of having a trusted adult outside the family who can mentor, guide, and encourage them.

At Lightkeeper Creative Co., I provide that safe, affirming connection — the kind that helps young artists grow both in skill and in confidence. Many creative teens and young adults experience fear of being percieved creatively. This fear can manifest as an inability to share their creations, a feeling of being ‘frozen’, or having ‘art block’, or persistent perfectionism, often characterized by the art that’s created never being ‘good enough’.

Parents choose us because:

  • We offer expert instruction — I bring years of art teaching experience, from beginners to advanced portfolio students.

  • We foster emotional safety — A judgment-free environment where every voice and idea is valued.

  • We encourage healthy independence — Your teen learns to trust their own creative decisions and take pride in their growth.

  • We provide positive mentorship — A guiding voice that supports your teen’s goals while reinforcing the values you hold as a parent.

  • We integrate art and personal development — Building not just technical skill, but also self-awareness, resilience, and confidence in expression.

Lightkeeper Creative Co. is where young people can develop their artistry, explore their identity, and experience the transformative power of being seen, heard, and encouraged by a dedicated mentor.
