Creative Routes Mobile Art Studio

It’s here 🚐✨ I’ve been holding onto this vision for a while now… and getting the trailer makes it feel real in a whole new way (like… wait this is actually happening?? 🥹💫) I put together some inspo + mockups to show the vibe I’ve been dreaming about—cozy, creative, a little nostalgic, and really centered on connection, care, and making art feel accessible 🎨✨

📣Reminder: Creative Clubhouse Restarts Tomorrow (03/31/2026)!

We’re helping youth build coping skills, express emotions, and connect with peers through guided art-making. If your child is part of the DAR Boys & Girls Club, be sure they’re signed up for this club—spaces fill quickly!

After nearly a year and a half of dreaming, planning, and a lot of hands-on work, the trailer for Creative Routes Mobile Art Studio is officially built. Sitting in that doorway and standing inside the space for the first time felt a little surreal (in the best way).

This project has always meant so much to me. It’s not just about building a studio—it’s about creating a space where people can show up as they are, make art, share their stories, and experience healing in a way that feels accessible and real. We've come a long way from just a year ago, but there's still so much more to do before we can get our wheels rolling!

Now, the focus shifts to the inside space where all of the magic will happen. I’m so excited to start bringing it all together—cozy seating, art supplies, thoughtful details—everything that will make this space feel warm, welcoming, and easy to settle into.

There’s still a lot ahead, but this feels like such a big step forward.

If you want to follow along, learn more about Creative Routes, or support the build, I’d love to have you here for it 💖

Hello Everyone!

As you may already know, Creative Routes Mobile Art Studio is about to take a pause! As we prepare to welcome our new baby, we’re stepping back to create space for quiet, connection, and the new rhythms of life with a growing family.

Starting today through April 6th, 2026, the studio will be closed. During this time, we will not be answering calls or emails, and all outreach and programming will be on hold. This is a time for us to fully immerse ourselves in this new chapter, learning, adjusting, and simply being together as a growing family.

While things may be quiet on the surface, changes are still happening behind the scenes. I promise to share updates as things move along, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on when we return in April.

A gentle reminder: If you or someone you know needs immediate support during this time, please reach out to trusted mental health resources or crisis lines. Your well-being matters, and help is always available.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for holding space with us during this intimate season of family and growth. 💛

📣Reminder: our weekly Creative Clubhouse group is at the DAR Boys & Girls Club TONIGHT(02/17/2026) from 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm! We would love to see your child there!

Through guided art-making and gentle emotional skill-building, kids learn tools they can use at home, in school, and in friendships. This group is especially helpful for children who may struggle with anxiety, big emotions, social challenges, or simply need a space where they feel seen and supported.

If your child is already a member of the DAR Boys & Girls Club, make sure they’re signed up for Creative Clubhouse — spots fill quickly, and we want to make sure your child has a place!

Not yet a member? Now is a wonderful time to enroll so your child can benefit from this unique blend of creativity, connection, and emotional growth.

Let’s help our kids create, cope, and thrive — one art project at a time. 💫

🚐✨ **Big studio update!** ✨🚐

On the coldest day of the year (yes… **–22° below** 🥶❄️), we loaded up the trailer and officially dropped it off to begin the build. The next time you see this trailer, it won’t just be a trailer anymore — it’ll have a **house on it**, and that brings us one big step closer to the Creative Routes mobile studio becoming a reality 🏡🎨

I want to give the biggest shoutout to **Lakeshore Minibarns in Shawano, WI**, who have been working with me on and off for the past *year* to help bring this vision to life. This project has taken patience, persistence, and a whole lot of trust, and I’m so grateful to be working with people who believed in the dream alongside me.

And somehow, even below-freezing temps and an **8-month-pregnant belly** couldn’t slow things down 🤰❄️ If anything, they just made the moment feel even more powerful. This has been one of those “keep going no matter what” milestones, and I’m soaking it all in.

There’s so much more to come, so stay tuned and follow along as this journey continues. The Creative Routes mobile studio is officially in motion — and I’m not stopping now 🎶✨

Hi Everyone!

The Creative Clubhouse is cancelled for the night at the Boys and Girls Club due to extreme cold temperatures. We will plan to resume next week. Stay safe and warm out there!
