Hi, I'm Kara. I’m a mother of three, a lifelong artist, and the heart behind A’Mused — a space where the sacred and the sassy skip and hold hands.

I was born and raised in Texas, went to art school there too, and only recently moved to the Chicago area in 2023. That move cracked something open in me — especially around how I define community. I used to think it meant proximity. Now I know it's more about resonance. It's about finding your people — the ones who get the weird, witchy, wonderful parts of you.

I've been creating art in one form or another my whole life, but A’Mused was born from the moment I realized that the act of making — whether it’s a drawing, a charm, or a custom talisman — is a form of rebellion. It’s screaming into the void, but with glitter. Its intention, made tangible.

I create wearable altars, channeled spirit portraits, and charm-based apothecary sets designed to help you connect with your guides, your intentions, and your own divine messiness. Whether you're invoking a demon, too busy to brew a simmer pot so you just don your recipe charm bracelet instead, or you’re getting to know your ancestors through a channeled sketch — I want you to feel held, seen, and a little more magical .

This work is an extension of how I parent. I show my kids that creativity and care aren’t luxuries — they’re lifelines. They’ve watched me build a business rooted in intuition and connection. They see me set intentions, create art, and enjoy myself and my work. They’re growing up knowing that their mother is her own person — one who didn’t disappear inside motherhood, but was transformed by it.

So whether you're a parent with a toddler on your hip, a practitioner seeking tools that feel more connected, or just someone who needs a reminder that magic is real and accessible — welcome.

Bring your whole self.

Even the messy parts. Especially those.
