Kara Masters

“Creativity has always been my core. As a child, I delighted in coloring, drawing, painting, and creating collages, but as an adult, I shifted my focus to Business Administration and IT. While my career in these fields has been fulfilling, I felt a creative void in my life.

My true passion emerged when I saw a picture of wooden canoe paddles and felt a spark of inspiration. I embarked on crafting these paddles myself, and they have since become my signature creations.

My vision is to blend creativity with craftsmanship, drawing on my love for the water and my artistic background to create pieces that are both functional and beautiful. Through my work, I aim to inspire others to reconnect with their own creative passions and appreciate the beauty in handmade, personalized art.”
