Elizabeth Goodwill and Barbara Gerdeman met as Summer Art Camp teachers at Art Center Sarasota. Both share a love for teaching and for working with children. Elizabeth went on to become the Education Director at ACS. Barbara took a hiatus from the Art Center to focus on her painting business and other entrepreneurial endeavors. After a couple of years, Elizabeth was in search of a Camp Coordinator and asked Barbara if she would be interested. As they worked together planning youth programming, they found that they had a lot in common and became besties. Being creative people they both have LOTS of ideas - way too many ideas and not enough time to make them all happen! Many of these ideas have been the topics of discussion over “business meetings” at local restaurants. It was in one of these meetings where the idea of Creative Liberties was born. It was in 2018 that Barbara and Elizabeth knew they wanted to have a business together, but were continually brainstorming as to what that business would look like. Over the years to follow, Creative Liberties morphed and evolved into a multitude of forms. Then the brightest light bulb went on. They both have a passion for helping others and realized that would be the perfect direction for Creative Liberties - ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS! A business dedicated to helping artists of all levels with a plethora of needs including thing like organizing work, selling work and entering shows. So welcome to Creative Liberties, we want to hear your story!
