a collection of inspiring things for your brain and mine.
Inspiration comes from many places. This page is a rotating collection of what’s currently sparking Kelly Carambula’s curiosity—from artist spotlights & readings to creative prompts and materials she’s exploring to the things she interacts with in her daily life. Think of it as a shared mood board, a glimpse into her process, and an open invitation to keep making.
