I started my business Made to Create after years of feeling a steady pull to use my love for art and words to encourage others. My path hasn’t been traditional—most of what I’ve learned has come from real life, not a résumé. I create art and write words that speak to hope and healing, and I’m grateful to partner with nonprofits who share that same heart. When I make my art I work with watercolor & ink, photography, mixed media, and collage. I am also a writer at heart and share my poetry and blog articles on art & faith online. I never stop learning (currently working on two certificates in creative fields), and I practice my craft daily. You can find me at art shows or online at madetocreate.online.
