Creativity and connection--through art making and beautiful keepsakes.

Creativity doesn’t have to be complicated, and it isn't selfish. I’m Abra — artist, mom, speech therapist, and founder of Happymakery Art. I believe creativity should feel joyful, doable, and part of real life — whether that’s turning your favorite memories into magnets, sketching for five quiet minutes, or making art with your kids around the kitchen table.

Hi there! I am just a regular mom looking for a few minutes to sketch, paint, and relax with my family. I love baby goats and making custom photo magnets. I am an eternal optimist, and try to look for the good in situations. I offer a 5-Minute Creative Reset for busy moms wanting to find a few minutes of creative calm (cue the meditation music!). Mmmmmm...

I also offer beautiful photo magnets for families. Yes, they are the perfect gift--even for the person who has everything. But even more important--there is something really special about kids seeing the photos that we actually take off of our phone, and put on the wall or the fridge. When we do that, we are saying--these moments matter. This artwork matters. This family matters. It's one of MANY ways that we can show someone how much they matter to us. Okay, I will off of my soapbox, haha!
