Hello Beautiful Soul,
I’m Carrie.
I make art, write books, and teach a loving approach to Creativity that can transform your art and life in miraculous ways.
I want you to know I see you:
Standing at a threshold, longing to unleash your Creativity but still feeling held back by your need to…
• control your work
• make art “right”
• follow the rules
Join me, and I’ll share how to listen to your Creative Spirit, which always knows the way when we surrender to its love.
Ready to discover what it means to be in devotion to your creativity?

Do you practice these qualities when you create?
When we do, it is easier to access them in all areas of our lives.
This is why we should be mindful of how we create rather than what we create.
Creativity offers us endless gifts when we learn to receive its transformative love.

My Story
I began painting in 2009 when I was bedridden after developing a life-threatening allergy to heat. I was unable to walk without reacting to my own body heat, and going outside was out of the question. I was experiencing intense grief, mourning the loss of the life I had known.
One day I heard a voice within say,
“Now that your life is over, you might as well do what you want and paint.”

![sherri testimonial Sherri's glowing testimonial for Carrie Schmitt's services](https://www.carrieschmittdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/sherri-testimonial.jpg)
“I thought I was going to learn to paint like Carrie. But what I have really learned is the beauty of surrendering to the process.
Carrie holds space for women in such a way that people are comfortable opening up. She is wildly generous, and the friendships that have been built are unbelievable.”
— Sherri Allen, Flower Painting club member
