Step
Inside
Imagine stepping through a quiet doorway, feeling welcomed before words.
Soft light. Textured, colorful layers. Rich jewel-toned hues of plum, teal, and gold reflect the beauty of a life shaped by God's grace.
The pace slows. The noise quiets.
The weight you've been carrying feels just a little lighter.
You are not simply entering a website.
You are stepping into The Creative House—a welcoming place where faith, creativity, and everyday life come together. Here, prayer is practiced, encouragement is shared freely, and Christ is honored in every detail.
Every space within the house has been created with purpose. Beauty and truth walk together, creativity becomes an act of worship, and every detail is thoughtfully designed to point hearts back to God's goodness.
Within these Rooms, you'll find encouragement for every season of your walk with Christ. Whether you are learning to rest in His grace, seeking steady faith through life's storms, putting down deeper roots in hope, discovering your God-given purpose, or learning to carry His grace into everyday life, there is a place prepared for you.
Take your time. Explore the Room that speaks to where you are today, or journey through each one as God leads.
My prayer is that wherever you are on your journey, you will find hope, encouragement, and gentle reminders of the faithful God who walks beside you every step of the way.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.”
— Psalm 127:1

The Meaning Behind
Clean
Slate
Expression
Clean Slate
Clean Slate is not self-improvement.
It is redemption through Jesus Christ — through His sacrifice on the cross, His death, and His resurrection — our sins are forgiven and our lives are forever changed.
It is the moment your story is not erased, but restored.
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
A clean slate is grace freely given.
Not earned.
Not deserved.
Given in love.
Because of Christ's redeeming work, we are invited
to live out
the unique expression of who God created us
to be.
Expression
Because of what Christ has done, we are not stripped of who we are — we are refined. We are His workmanship.
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…”
— Ephesians 2:10
Each woman carries:
A unique faith journey
A story shaped by joy and hardship
Talents and creative gifts
A voice meant to reflect Him
Even the difficult seasons are not wasted.
They become places where God’s grace is expressed through us.
Clean Slate Expression exists to remind women of who they are in Christ and to walk with them toward healing and victorious living through every season.
Hi, I'm Cheryl
The Story Behind
Clean Slate Expression
Before I was a designer, photographer, or artist, I became a daughter of God through the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
That truth has become the foundation of everything I create.
For more than twenty years, I've had the privilege of helping businesses, ministries, and organizations tell their stories through design, branding, photography, and creative direction.
Creativity has always been one of the ways God has allowed me to connect with others, solve problems, and encourage people.
Yet the work God has done in me has been far more significant than the work He's done through me.
Like many women, I've walked through seasons marked by trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and rejection. There were years when healing felt slow and uncertain, and I wondered if I would ever feel whole—or creative—again.
But even in those difficult seasons, God never stopped pursuing my heart. Through prayer, Scripture, His gentle presence, and quiet moments of creativity, He gently reminded me that my identity would never be defined by my past, my circumstances, or the opinions of others.
My identity is found in Christ.
Those quiet moments became sacred spaces where healing began to take root, hope slowly returned, and creativity became an expression of worship instead of performance.
Out of those sacred spaces, Clean Slate Expression was born.
The name itself became a reminder of the Gospel. Clean Slate speaks of the new life we receive through Jesus Christ.
Expression is the invitation to live the unique expression God created each of us to be. As God continued to shape this vision,
He began revealing something even larger...The Creative House.
The Creative House
The Creative House grew from the desire to create more than beautiful things.It became a place where women are welcomed, encouraged, and reminded of who they are in Christ.
Here, faith and creativity come together through storytelling, photography, art, meaningful gatherings, thoughtfully designed resources, and carefully gathered treasures—each one created with prayer and purpose.
I don't claim to have all the answers, and I'm not a counselor.
I'm simply a woman who has experienced God's faithfulness and has chosen to share the hope I've found through Jesus Christ, using the creative gifts He has entrusted to me to encourage others walking through their own seasons.
Everything you'll discover within the Creative House is created—or thoughtfully gathered—with one prayer: That every woman who visits would leave feeling a little lighter, a little more hopeful, and a little more aware of God's faithful presence in her life.
Whether you spend a few minutes exploring a Room, attend a gathering, discover a meaningful treasure, or simply pause to read a story...Welcome. I'm honored you're here. May you leave encouraged, inspired, and reminded that
because of Jesus, every day is an opportunity to begin again.
"Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story."
- Psalm 107:2
A Place to Grow in
Victorious Living
We all face seasons of...
- Anxiety
- Grief
- Depression
- Loss
- Loneliness
- Transition
But these seasons do not disqualify us from victorious living.
They refine us toward it.
“In all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us.”
— Romans 8:37
