KG Design & Decor - I am a 3-D artist on a mission to honor my inner child and ignite that spark in others. I aim to raise awareness that perfection doesn’t exist in art and encourage others to put their art out into the world. I am taking up space in a world where we are taught to hide our true, authentic selves or are told we are not good enough, especially in the art scene. Advocating for mental health is the foundation of my business. While I don’t use my Psychology degree in a typical manner, I choose to use my art instead to showcase that we can bloom and transform from a dark place to a place of divine creation. We are all works of art and artists ourselves. It is a healing journey to discover who we were before we were told who to be. We are the love of our own lives, and nothing beats caring for ourselves through self-expression and creation.
