Why We Create
Rooted in creativity and collaboration, BeauFolio Studio offers art consultancy, special commissions, and workshop gatherings that bring vision and imagination to life.
We believe…
-
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 konbit—a Haitian ethos 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.
Our Community
Carmelle Beaugelin Caldwell
For over a decade, Carmelle has bridged art, theology, and social impact to help communities cultivate imagination with purpose. In 2022, she founded BeauFolio Studio as a communal extension of her studio practice—integrating artistry with philanthropic strategy and guided by a simple conviction: good news is not only proclaimed, it is created together.
