I'm a local artist in Kankakee County, IL. Before marrying my husband my last name was Kruse, so Kruse and Carman are the names that inspired the 'KC' in KC Artistry. I studied art in high school and received a B.S. in Fine Arts from Olivet Nazarene University. When I'm not in the studio, you'll find me spending time with my husband and three boys - who are the loves of my life.

​

I love to work with all type of mediums and subject matters. From painting to graphic design, and westerns to abstract, I love trying something new and stretching the bounds of my creativity and skill set.

​

At KC Artistry, you'll find a place to enjoy life through my lens and view artwork that is "true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable..." (Philippians 4:8) My creative spirit and talents are a gift from God and He's given me the ability to tell a story not only through words, but artistry.
