Our story

My name is Kaili Godfrey, and I am the Founder, Instructor, and Program Coordinator at Here There and Everywhere Arts! This journey began while I was pursuing my Fine Arts degree at California State University Long Beach. I have my own practice in which I primarily paint large scale portraits and exhibit my work around Southern California. You can see a couple of my works behind me in the picture on the right!

I started my own business because I soon realized I didn’t just want to make art—I wanted to share it. I began sharing my passion for art with the community, and began offering classes at local community centers and senior living facilities. I later expanded my teaching to the special needs community, in which I started offering painting and mixed media classes! I saw how creativity could open doors to communication, confidence, and joy in a way that felt both natural and powerful.

You can find our classes being offered as group or private, as well as public classes at the Lake Forest Sports Park, Ivy Living, and The Down Syndrome Association of Orange County. There’s something for everyone, because everyone’s an artist!

The goal of my classes is to create spaces where expression is encouraged, celebrated, and accessible to all. This program was born out of that passion—for art, for people, and for the incredible things that happen when the two come together. We are based in Orange County, California.
