I started this studio over 10 years ago — though it didn’t always have the name Sweaty Palmz. Back then, I was married to an artist, and it was through him that I first dipped my brush into painting. He helped spark something in me — a permission slip to explore my creativity out loud.
But after the divorce, and the heavy fog of raising kids alone, moving to a new city, and trying to rebuild my life from the ground up... I found myself feeling lost and craving something that was mine. Something soft. Something real. Something sacred.
That’s when art called me back home.
I realized I didn’t need my ex to be creative — he was just the spark, not the flame. That fire was already inside me. So, in a tiny corner of my first low-income apartment, I carved out a little space in the living room and named it a studio. It wasn’t fancy. But it was mine.
Fast forward five years — I bought my first home. And I turned the dining room into a full-blown creative sanctuary. Sweaty Palmz Studio was born out of both joy and nervousness — because truthfully, I’ve always suffered from sweaty palms. I’m naturally shy, soft-spoken, and often unsure of how to take up space.
But one day it hit me: my sweaty palms weren’t a flaw. They were proof of the energy, the emotion, the life moving through me. They were the signal that I was creating something that mattered. Something real.
This studio isn’t just a room. It’s the reclamation of my voice — a space where my insecurity became my identity, where I finally embraced that my hands are gifted, and my art is my way of speaking.
Now, I create from the heart — with soul, with joy, and yes, with sweaty palms.
My mission with Sweaty Palmz Studio is simple:
To make art that makes people feel.
To help others remember their own magic.
To share work that’s not always perfect, but always real.
Through every charm, every canvas, every card, and every piece of art — I want to give people something meaningful. Something that speaks to the quiet part of their soul that’s been waiting to be seen.
And if I can do that? I know I’m on the right path.
