Holly Maybruck

Director, Teacher & Co-Founder
of the Fairfield, Connecticut Creative Castle Art School for children

Holly Maybruck has worked in the Graphic Design field for over fifteen years. As an artist and the mother of a first grader she understands the importance of introducing art and creative exploration to children at a very early age. She is very excited to be able to offer age appropriate creative art classes to young children in Fairfield County, CT.

Holly's daughter, Sarah was her inspiration for starting an art program for children that teaches art in an age appropriate and developmentally appropriate manner. So many children are turned off of art because they are introduced to it in the wrong way mostly by adults that have "adult" expectations of what art should be. Art is another language of expression and should be done at each child's own level.

Here's an article written by Sherry Artemenko MA, CCC. a Speech Language Pathologist explaining how and why Holly's methodology is the correct way.

Holly's Husband, Martin, is Co-Founder of the Creative Castle Art School and her behind the scenes assistant and support. Martin also has an extensive art background with an Architecture Degree from The Cooper Union. He worked as an Architect and owned his own Construction business in New York City.

In 2002 Holly and Martin opened Creative Castle in Westport Connecticut. Creative Castle offers developmentally appropriate, open-ended creative art classes to infants (starting at 18 months), toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners and after school classes to children up to age 11.

In September of 2005 Creative Castle moved to a new 2400 square foot studio at 715 Post Road in Fairfield Connecticut. The new studio has a large play / party room, two large classrooms a retail store with arts and crafts supplies for children and a great selection of unique educational toys.
