Learn MoreHer creativity isn’t expensive or confined. It flows freely, moving from craft to drawing to invention without pause. One moment she’s creating something with her hands, the next she’s designing outfits, cutting them out, and taping them onto her dolls. It’s visual, physical, and expressive—imagination turning instantly into form, guided only by curiosity and joy.
Who or what inspires Avery to create?She’s surrounded by creativity. On both sides of our family, artists of every kind show up—musicians, tattoo artists, painters, even a master’s‑level art educator. The spectrum is wide, and she fits right into it. My wife’s maiden name is Crafton, and honestly, it couldn’t be more fitting. She’s immersed in art, and she naturally steps into a leadership role within it.
What is Avery's favorite art form?Drawing and painting are her favorite forms of expression. She also loves music, constantly singing and learning the cello. My wife and I want to give her every outlet possible to explore who she is through art, guiding her in a way that stays free and fully her own. We hope she finds growth and confidence in that space. Art is deeply important to our family.
