In 2012, Mary Miller opened Splashed with Creativity because of her lifelong love of art in Crystal Lake IL, after having taught elementary education for 20
years. Today, she sells Canvas Art, Ceramic Tiles, Greeting Cards and more in vibrant and cheery designs. She has used her art to benefit a variety of charities over the years by creating greeting cards.
“They weren’t anything “fancy” or very “professional. In the beginning, a neighbor took photos of a few of my canvases and I had prints made, then glued the prints on blank cards that I purchased at a local craft store,” she recalled. “The proceeds from the sales are still going to different 501(c) 3 charitable organizations. I do not have any business knowledge; I just go on gut instinct.”
