Kidcreate Studio of Newport News is the promise Karen deWysocki made to herself two decades ago. Karen started her professional career as a Photojournalist in the Washington DC area before moving back home to Newport News, VA. To meet the needs of her growing family, she transitioned into corporate sales and training. Although she enjoyed advancement and career successes in the corporate world, returning to creative work was always the goal. Kidcreate Studio is the perfect fit for Karen's promise. Additionally, she believes Kidcreate Studio will contribute to her community and the education of the Peninsula's children.

Karen welcomes you and your children to visit the studio, put on an apron and create. After all, making a mess is the best at Kidcreate!
