The Leaders Behind Arts for Smiles

1.png

​President | Carolina King

Carolina King is the founder of Arts for Smiles Inc,. After 17 years in the legal field, Carolina left her career as a legal assistant to fully dedicate herself to the mission of Arts for Smiles Inc.

Originally from Costa Rica, Carolina was raised by a single mother who is a stained glass artist. Surrounded by creativity from an early age, she experienced firsthand how art can uplift, heal, and empower no matter the circumstances. That early connection to the arts shaped her path as a glass mosaic artist and community leader.

Carolina also served a three-year term as President of the Wellington Art Society, where she helped promote the value of art in the community. Today, she channels her passion into bringing smiles to children through hands-on art experiences that spark imagination and hope.

  She now lives in Florida with her husband, their son, and their sweet dog Coco who is currently in training to become a certified therapy dog and a future partner in bringing smiles to children through art.  

Vice President | Charles Moses

Charles Moses is a retired IT professional and grandfather to 16 grandkids. He loves oil painting, particularly landscapes and seascapes. Charles was born and raised in Palm Beach County and attended the public school system.

With a blended family of seven kids, Charles is aware of the struggles that kids have when they do not have the proper tools to compete. Charles has always been interested in helping kids that need help outside of the classroom. He has coached little league basketball and encouraged kids in all fields of life. He has also encouraged several of his grand kids to get involved in all forms of the arts.
