A Maker's Story

Roben-Marie's creative passions not only revolve around collage art, art journaling and painting, but also in creating and designing websites.  She loves the freedom and peace she feels when she's working with paper…painting, tearing, shaping and using them to create something totally new.  Her brain also gets really excited to see the creative process through on the computer.  Most creatives don't get excited about technology, but she absolutely loves it.  Graphic design gets her excited in a different way.  The merging of the physical art with digital is a process she enjoys almost as much as dabbling with paint and paper.

Lori gives us the rundown not only about how she got started as an artist, and her adventures straight out of college, but the inside scoop on her latest project -- Creatively Curious Club.

Sheila's love of all things distressed, worn and aged has grown over the years. This love and appreciation of vintage treasures spills over into her creative process. From art journals, mixed media, watercolor, soldering, jewelry making, photography and scrapbooking. She has taught creatives locally to create art from the heart by combining the past and present.

As an accomplished designer and artist, Cathe shares with us a peek into her world and how she got started on the road to her amazing career.

When asked what her favorite creation is:

My most favorite project was a full room size mural of the little mermaid and it wasn't because I got paid for it or anything. It  was because it was the first time I showed somebody else my artwork and was that lightbulb moment where other people were coming over to see my work, soon the word got out neighbors telling neighbors, asking to see it and if they could pay to do their houses, and at that moment were somebody else was validating me and saying "wow you why aren't you getting paid for this? " and "why aren't you showing people your artwork?" So it's my favorite piece because it was that moment in time when things changed and I thought maybe I do have some talent here! Lol
