Kenza’s Story

I didn’t expect my art to become my career, but here I am!

I lost my job as an Eating Disorder Counselor at the beginning of the COVID19 Pandemic and had to scramble to make ends meet. I have always enjoyed creating art and handmade accessories as a hobby. After an inspiring phone call with a friend, I decided to try my hand at selling my work.

I began with selling my watercolor paintings through my personal instagram account. Over the course of a few months, enough people bought my art that I decided to expand into jewelry. Once I got inspired, my creativity blossomed more than it ever had before. Now, making art and jewelry is my full time job, and KaySugars LLC is an official company!

Art is a tool in my personal recovery from grief, trauma, eating disorders, and substance abuse. It has been a dream come true to support myself doing what I love. Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
