Creator Corner Artists

From March 20, 2015 until December 30, 2016, I featured a Creator Artist on Friday’s Creator Corner. Creativity is the art of making something out of nothing. Each of these artists inspired me. The one word they all have in common is JOY. They each, in their own way, bring Joy and Beauty into a world that needs it so much.

I left the post up for a week, then replace it with another post. Here are the Creator Corner Artists featured.
