This piece is a custom, hand-painted bookshelf featuring handprints made by each of our 2019-20 kindergarten students. It is as functional as it is beautiful!

Antique reclaimed solid wood 1/2 door, perfectly patinaed with bead board center panel & wrought iron hardware.
Each child independently painted a butterfly. Their name is printed on the backside of the butterfly and charted on the notecard card for each class.
The hooks are functional in a mud room, hallway, bedroom or any room. Magnetic clips are a great way to displace the kids artwork, invitations, family notes, etc.
This piece will make a lovely addition to any space!
Actual size: 29 1/2w x 44h

Watch Us Bloom!
Each child painted his/her own patterns and images on cardstock. We encouraged creativity and color!
Flower shapes were created from each child's artwork to form a colorful garden.
This piece will be professionally framed with a black frame and shadow-box effect to allow for the 3-D nature of the flowers to shine through!

"While not all artists are chess players, all chess players are artists" -Marcel Duchamp

Calvin Leete 3rd grade classes have collaborated to create a unique and stunning chess board.
Each student was asked to create a design that reflects mathematics as an art form. Children chose fractals, geometric shapes and images that reflected their distinct personality.
The chess board was crafted into a lovely box style chess board handmade from scratch of 1 INCH RED OAK by Leete parent Mark Goodfellow.
Drawers were incorporated into the design to house chess & checker pieces.
Checker pieces were also decorated by the 3rd grade students.
This elegant chess board will make a lovely addition to your home, capturing your child's artistic contribution!

4th grade students are featured in this black and white, photographic art piece.
