Creativity as a
Way of Living
You want to make things, but you don’t know where to start.
You want to make things, but you don’t know where to start.
Maybe it’s been years since you’ve felt creative, or since you’ve pulled out your art supplies. Or maybe you’ve tried, but it was hard to keep going on your own.
If you’ve been feeling that quiet pull to create again, you’re in the right place.
I help women in their third act reconnect with their creativity through simple, meaningful making—without pressure to be good at it or figure it all out.
You don’t need experience. You just need a place to begin.
Creativity, for me, is a way of listening.
Most of what I make begins simply. A stick I feel like wrapping with yarn. A doll that wants to be made. A small object for my home because I want my space to feel more alive.
I don’t usually know what something means when I begin. The meaning shows up while I’m making it.
A doll might become the spirit of something I’m moving through. A small talisman might remind me who I’m becoming. Sometimes it’s just about bringing a little bit of joy into the room.
Over time, these pieces begin to tell a story. Not just about what I’ve made, but about where I’ve been—and where I’m going.
That’s the kind of creativity I care about.
If you’re here, you might be feeling that pull too.
You don’t need to have any experience to follow it. You just need a place to begin.

Hey, I’m Stacy Vajta
I’m an artist and creative guide based in Asheville, North Carolina. I work with women in their third act who feel that quiet pull back to creativity—especially if it’s been a long time.
What I offer isn’t about becoming an artist in the traditional sense. It’s about reconnecting with a part of yourself that’s been waiting for you.
Most of what we do is simple. But it’s not small.
