NEW MARSHFIELD, Ohio-Daisy Carlson operates the Crafty Art Bus, a mobile studio bringing art and music activities to children in southeast Ohio. Parked at community centers and local parks, the bus offers creative outlets like making fairy jars and bracelets. Carlson aims to make art accessible, especially for kids without easy access to such activities in their communities. Her initiative, funded through community support and her own hard work, emphasizes using art and music as coping mechanisms and educational tools. Carlson hopes to expand nationally, advocating that enriching children’s lives doesn’t require wealth, but rather attention and creative engagement.
