Rainbow Parrot Art Camps and Classes is led by instructor and founder Lacey Reuter, with creative consultant and graphic designer Mera Foster. Lacey is a Tacoma native who graduated from the American University of Paris, France, and has a background in fine art, art history, teaching, and mindfulness meditation. She has lived and studied art in Japan, French Polynesia, and Ghana, and has taught art classes, workshops, and camps since 2011 at multiple schools, including St. Joseph School, Holy Rosary School, Seattle Lutheran High School, Hope Lutheran School, and Saint Charles Borromeo. From 2014–2017, she served as the K–8 art instructor at Holy Rosary School and has continued to grow and expand her offerings since 2017. At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, she began offering her art workshops to kids and adults through live, online classes. Mera, a 14-year-old artist, has been learning to draw more realistically using colored pencils, acrylic paint, oil paint, and sidewalk chalk over the past year.
The program’s mission states that Rainbow Parrot uses a community-oriented, experience-based approach to art and a process of playful exploration through which students make new discoveries, increase their confidence, and tap into heightened levels of self-awareness, resulting in a greater sense of joy, well-being, and enhanced ability to connect with others. Rainbow Parrot highlights a diverse and ever-changing array of projects during each workshop and camp, and offers kids’ After-School Art Classes for the 2025–2026 school year and 2026 Summer Art Camps in Tacoma and Seattle. Lacey also enjoys volunteering at meditation centers, has murals on display at Evergreen College and Jazzbones in Tacoma, and is described as passionate about heart-centered living, community building, and environmental conservation.
Parent and student feedback about Rainbow Parrot Art Camps and Classes notes experiences such as a child expressing herself creatively while learning techniques and skills, a son asking to be signed up for following sessions, and a 5th grade student describing making “A LOT of awesome clay sculptures” and toilet paper clothing in Art Workshop. Other comments describe projects as unique, the environment as very caring, and refer to Lacey (Ms. Reuter) as “super deep and super cool,” with one parent stating they are grateful for her influence on their child’s confidence and ability to express himself in many ways beyond art.
