Kara Creates

Can't make it to the beach this week? Us either, so we're bringing beach vibes to Wallburg. Come join us Thursday night to paint a beach sunset. Text to hold your spot!

The second item I've donated is an acrylic pet portrait to the Gala Silent Auction today! You do not have to be in the NC area to bid you can be anywhere in the USA and I will complete your portrait and mail to you. Help us raise funds for a cure 🫶🏻
When my son was diagnosed with T1D almost 18 months ago, I was heartbroken for him. Knowing everyday for the rest of his life would have this ghost looming on the background and striking any minute was overwhelming. Knowing that he will have to make constant decisions once he's old enough that his life literally depends on drove me into mama bear mode. "How do I stop this, how do I protect him?" I can't. But I can support institutions that will make his life easier and hopefully one day cure him. Instead of working for a more lucrative job in industry, I choose to work for one of the leading research universities in the world to support our faculty in finding ways to cure T1D and other diseases. Through my passion, art, I can donate my time and my energy into these pet portraits to raise more money to fund research. When you feel helpless, it's okay to feel your sadness for a minute. Then get up and make your own way. There is ALWAYS hope.
