Hello
Hi, I’m Susie, the heart behind Cr8-ur-Canvas. I believe creativity should be fun, welcoming, and a little messy in the best way. You don’t need talent, just curiosity and a willingness to try. Around here, we paint, laugh, connect, and remember that making something with your hands is good for the soul.
My Story
Cr8-ur-Canvas grew from a love of creating and a desire to offer a space where people feel welcome to slow down and explore art without pressure. It was built with the understanding that creativity thrives in encouragement, not comparison, and that making something by hand can be both grounding and joyful.
When I’m not hosting paint nights, workshops, or dreaming up new creative projects, you’ll usually find me with a good book, tending the garden, or spending time with my husband. I love simple, hands-on rhythms like baking sourdough, fishing, and being outdoors. Those slower, intentional practices deeply influence the way I create and teach. They remind me that good things take time, patience, and care.
Cr8-ur-Canvas is more than classes and projects. It’s a reflection of how I live and what I value. Community, creativity, rest, and connection. Whether you join for a single event or become part of a group or club, my hope is that you leave feeling lighter, more confident, and reminded that you belong here, just as you are.
Let's Stay Connected
There’s something special about connection, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you have a question, a kind note, or are interested in creating together, I would love to hear from you.
