Hi, I’m Nikki Carson. Local artist, mom, and founder of The Crafted Canvas.

     Art has always been my sanctuary. A place to slow down, reconnect, and express what words often can’t. After years of sharing my work at markets and festivals, I began to notice something: people are craving space to be creative. Not just professionally, but personally, in a way that’s playful, welcoming, and real. 

     Our community lacks spaces like this. Too often, we either drive far for something fun or stay home because there's nowhere local that feels inspiring. I want to change that. 

    It's always been a dream of mine to open a studio space and I believe The Crafted Canvas can be a creative home for the community. A place to gather, paint, celebrate, and reconnect with yourself and others through color and creativity. Whether it’s your first time holding a paintbrush or your hundredth, this space is for you. We deserve this.
