Featured Artist: Kari Martin

Kari Martin grew up in Southern California and moved to Napa Valley in 1992 to attend Pacific Union College. In 2012, Kari became the Art Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Helena and Calistoga for K-12 grades. Student artwork produced through her programs and submitted to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Local, Regional, and National Fine Arts Competitions won multiple awards over the years. In 2016 Kari was recognized as the top Art Director in the Nation for Boys and Girls Clubs of America; a significant achievement!

Kari joined Nimbus Arts in February of this year and loves teaching our “Ro Sham Bo” program for our youngest Nimbus artists, as well as becoming a strong addition for our summer camp team! 

With a teaching style that makes art approachable and exciting to any age group, Kari is a great addition to the Nimbus Arts team. When not teaching art, Kari enjoys cooking, roller skating, gardening, tending to her chickens and dogs, and hiking, camping, and boating with her family. We welcome Kari to the Nimbus family!
