Move over, power lunches and golf outings. There’s a new way for the Tri-state area’s elite to unwind, bond, and unleash their inner creativity – and it involves a whole lot of paint. Carri Louise Degenhardt, a former finance powerhouse turned fluid art maven, is shaking up the corporate world with her innovative studio, City Swipes.
Located just two stops on the PATH train from the World Trade Center downtown Jersey City, City Swipes is more than just an art studio; it’s a movement. Degenhardt, who traded her a former Wall Street executive herself, is on a mission to empower professionals to tap into their creative potential and break free from the monotony of corporate life.
“I understand first-hand Wall Street is a high-pressure environment,” Degenhardt explains, her eyes sparkling with passion. “Fluid art offers a much-needed escape, a chance to let loose, experiment, and simply have fun.”
But City Swipes is not just about fun and games. Degenhardt is a savvy entrepreneur who understands the power of art to transform businesses. Her corporate workshops have become a hot ticket for companies looking to boost creativity, collaboration, and employee morale. Teams leave the workshops feeling energized, inspired, and more connected to each other. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
Degenhardt’s success is a testament to her unique blend of business acumen and artistic flair. A talented artist and a visionary leader, Degenhardt is redefining the way we think about work and creativity.
City Swipes is quickly becoming a hub for the city’s most influential and creative minds. CEOs, entrepreneurs, and artists alike flock to the studio to experience Degenhardt’s infectious energy and innovative approach to art.
Now, Carri is expanding her creative horizons with “Swipes Wanderlust.” This innovative program brings the joy of fluid art to the picturesque shores of Cape May, offering workshops, retreats, and even an open-air art fair. Imagine the magic of blending colors amidst the soothing ocean breeze, finding inspiration in the natural beauty that surrounds you.
With her bold vision and undeniable charisma, Carri Degenhardt is a force to be reckoned with. She’s the Wall Street renegade who’s proving that art is not just a luxury, it’s a necessity for a thriving and fulfilling life. So, ditch the spreadsheets and grab a paintbrush. The future of work is creative, and City Swipes is leading the way.
