About the Artist

Welcome to Art By MeMe — where creativity meets transformation. I create spaces where people of all ages can reconnect with themselves and with God through art, storytelling, and hands-on experiences. Whether through custom classes, crowd-based painting, or craft corners at community events, I use creativity as a tool to restore joy, nurture growth, and remind every soul they are a masterpiece in progress.

Custom Art Classes

Whether for a youth group, school, adult retreat, or team-building event, these hands-on art classes are tailored to your theme, group size, and goals. I bring everything needed to create a meaningful, mess-free experience that blends creativity, learning, and joy — no experience required.

👉 Perfect for: church groups, schools, women’s events, team enrichment

Experiential Art for Events

Transform your gathering into a moment of reflection, unity, or celebration through art. From live solo painting during worship or spoken word to collaborative group murals and faith-based reflection activities, I create custom visual experiences that engage both heart and hands.

👉 Perfect for: conferences, worship nights, festivals, healing retreats

Themed Craft Corners

Add color, creativity, and connection to your event with a ready-to-go craft table. Choose from seasonal or branded themes — I’ll handle all materials, signage, and setup so your guests can jump in and create with ease.

👉 Perfect for: community events, school fairs, family days, outreach

“For nothing will be impossible with God.”

Painted this butterfly on my patio doors with my niece — took us about 3 hours and a lot of laughs. All freehand with washable paint, so it’ll come off easily when we’re ready. Fun little project. #WindowArt #FamilyTime #ArtwithMeMe
🔥🎨 From Frustration to Freedom In our last mindfulness art class, we focused on releasing frustration and creating from the unknown. By the end, their artwork spoke louder than words. That’s the beauty of this practice — creating isn’t always about knowing, it’s about letting go. 💭 Have you ever used art to process something hard? Share below — I’d love to hear your experience. #MindfulArt #EmotionalRelease #ArtByMeMe #TeachingArtist #CreativeHealing #TherapeuticArt #ArtAndEmotion
🌈Work in Progress: A Mural Called JOY Lately I’ve been working on a colorful mural right in my home. After taking a course with @the__getup , I asked myself: “What kind of mural would I want to see every single day?” The answer? JOY. Not just the word itself — but colors, movement, and energy that feel like joy. And honestly? It’s been a joy to create. A reminder that sometimes, the art we need is the art we live with. 🎨 What would YOUR everyday mural say or show? Comment below — I’d love to hear it. #MuralInProgress #ArtByMeMe #JOY #CreativeHealing #WorkInProgress #WIP #TherapeuticArt

In college, I was assigned to create a monochromatic piece — any image, any medium, any color. I painted a broken blue crayon and wrote a poem about heartbreak. I didn’t know it then, but that piece was foreshadowing. It wasn’t just about that moment — it was a glimpse of the work I’d be doing now. Today, I help others take what’s in their heart and bring it to their hands. Through my therapeutic art classes, we explore, express, and regulate emotions — not just to create something beautiful, but to feel something real. That broken crayon was never the end. It was a beginning. Tell me — how has art helped you heal or speak when words weren’t enough? #ArtByMeMe #TherapeuticArt #CreativeHealing #ArtFromTheHeart #FaithAndFeelings

“Capturing the little moments in my new journal this week—each page is a reflection of creativity, gratitude, and the joy of art. 🌼✨ #ArtJourney #GratefulHeart” Were you creative this week?
Last year, I had the joy of sharing my artwork publicly for the first time at the county fair, winning first place in all three categories and selling my first piece! This year, I’m excited to showcase three new pieces and, for the first time, almost 40 pieces from my incredible students. The fair has become my benchmark for growth, and I’m so proud to see my students experience the joy of contest and exposure too. Here’s a little peek into our journey. Wish us luck!
This week’s art journal flip-through includes landscapes from cross-country meets, a tie-dye shirt from teen night, and cozy fall vibes. 🍂 What inspired your creativity this week? #ArtJournaling #FallInspiration #LandscapeArt #CreativeJourney
Sharing a little piece of my art with the people I love! 🎨✨ I designed some custom gear as special gifts for friends and family, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Check out the video to see the fun, personalized pieces I’ve created! 💛 #HandmadeWithLove #CreativeGifts #ArtFromTheHeart
