Niki Mcneil

I’m a mom of three with a background in education. I have always had a heart for helping others find joy, be it in the form of a handmade gift or creating their very own masterpiece. I am an avid learner, always trying new things. Combine that with a touch of OCD and, well, you’ve got a Jane of all trades; mostly crafting trades, but I have a few fun ones up my sleeve too - such as boutique merchandise buyer, professional shopper and curriculum creator. You will always find me creating something, my hands must stay busy and my to-create-soon list is never ending.

.

I was not always this way though, I actually have never taken a formal art class...not even in high school. I found the arts when in search of purpose and joy in my late twenties. I have followed the trends such as scrapbooking and card making as well as tried less known crafts like quilling and Zentangle inspired patterning and I have yet to find a craft I didn't at least enjoy the process of, even if I didn't enjoy the product.

Creative time is a form of therapy for me and I believe it can be for you as well.

.

My goal is to help you create joy as you discover your inner artist. I want to help you find the fulfillment, purpose, and ultimately joy that I have found through creative processes. I hear it all the time, "I am not creative" but....

.

It is not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not!

.

Follow me on this creative journey and try something new.

Artists are within each and every one of us. Let me help you find yours!
