“Art is for everybody. ”

— Keith Haring

Hi there! I’m the heart behind 5KFM (Kids Future in Mind) — a space where creativity meets community, and every child feels seen, safe, and inspired.

Art has always been my way of speaking when I didn’t have the words. It comes in many forms, and all of them are beautiful. That’s what I try to pass on in every workshop — not just teaching a craft, but creating a moment where kids feel proud, free, and full of joy.

There’s nothing like seeing a child’s face light up when they finish a project or try something new. That moment? That’s why I do what I do.

At 5KFM, we believe in creating with heart, connecting with purpose, and inspiring with love. Whether it’s through painting, making friendship bracelets, or simply playing with color — we’re building confidence, one creative moment at a time. 🎨💫✨

This is more than an art space — it’s a movement to Create, Connect, Inspire. 💕🖌️🌈
