Why We Create
-
BeauFolio artists and collaborators view creativity is an act of with-ness—a way of witnessing wonder and sparking connection in community. We believe that to create is to draw out the sacred in each of us and beyond us.
-
Art is more than decoration—it’s revelation. Whether in CreatioDivina gatherings, on wooden pews, or in vast galleries, art awakens imagination and invites us to know differently.
-
Rooted in kombit—the Haitian practice of communally shared labor—sacred creativity at BeauFolio exists in community. Collaboration shapes how we lead, strategize, and what we make together. Our “we” includes you.

Carmelle is an interdisciplinary artist and organizational strategist who believes leadership is at its best when it flows with the creativity of artistry. For over a decade, she has bridged art, theology, and social impact to help communities and organizations imagine and build with purpose. In 2022, she founded BeauFolio Studio to integrate creativity into leadership and culture, shaping communities from the inside out. Through BeauFolio, she leads with this belief: good news isn’t just proclaimed—it’s created, together.
