Welcome to Support a Maker
I’ve always believed creativity has the power to make life more beautiful. After spending over 30 years in the interior design industry, I developed a deep appreciation for the artists, artisans, designers, makers, and creators who bring imagination, craftsmanship, and heart into the world.
Now that I’m “retired” (a word I use very loosely because sitting still has never been my specialty), I’m continuing my love for art and design in a new way. Support a Maker was created from my passion for discovering incredible talent and learning the stories behind the work. From handmade pieces and original artwork to innovative designs and one-of-a-kind creations, I love celebrating the people who turn ideas into something extraordinary.
My hope is that Support a Maker becomes a place where creativity is discovered, artists are appreciated, and more people choose to support the makers who add beauty, inspiration, and originality to our lives.
My Mission
At Support a Maker, my mission is to celebrate the artists, artisans, designers, makers, and creators who choose imagination over imitation and craftsmanship over mass production.
In a world filled with fast, factory-made products, I believe there is something truly special about owning a piece created by real hands and inspired by a real story. Every painting, sculpture, handmade object, piece of furniture, and creative design carries the time, talent, and passion of the person who brought it to life.
Support a Maker was created to shine a spotlight on those creative voices — the dreamers, builders, innovators, and craftspeople who pour their hearts into their work. My goal is to help others discover their creations, appreciate the process behind them, and recognize the value of supporting independent makers.
When you support a maker, you’re not just purchasing an object, you’re supporting creativity, preserving craftsmanship, encouraging originality, and helping someone continue doing what they love.
The Why
Why I Support Makers. After decades in the interior design industry, I’ve learned that the most inspiring spaces are created with more than just furniture and décor. They are brought to life through original art, handmade pieces, artisan craftsmanship, and one-of-a-kind creations that tell a story. These unique designs add personality, character, and a connection that mass-produced products simply cannot duplicate.
I have always been inspired by talented artists, artisans, designers, and makers who transform ideas and raw materials into extraordinary works of creativity. From fine art, sculpture, ceramics, and textiles to handcrafted furniture, upcycled designs, and innovative handmade goods. I love discovering the creative minds behind these remarkable pieces.
Support a Maker was created from my passion for finding independent artists, skilled craftspeople, and creative entrepreneurs who put their talent, imagination, and heart into everything they create. My goal is to help others discover unique artwork, quality handmade products, creative designs, and the stories behind the makers.
When you support a maker, you’re doing more than purchasing something beautiful, you’re supporting creativity, preserving craftsmanship, celebrating originality, and encouraging artists and creators to continue sharing their gifts with the world.
