Welcome! I'd love to tell you a little about me. I grew up in Iowa and attended DePaul University in Chicago. After graduating, I 

began my professional career in media relations for collegiate athletics. Within a few years, I found my passion in non-profit event coordination and have been lucky to work for incredible organizations in Omaha, Austin, and Denver. In 2017, I founded Grathwohl Creative, based out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. 

​

Today, I'm incredibly fortunate to collaborate with non-profits to create inspired and authentic events throughout Colorado. In addition to planning remarkable events, I enjoy sharing my love of painting with the world. My goal is to bring forth a sense of joy while expressing the vibrant and kind spirits of the subjects. 20% of all paintings are donated to various non-profits - including The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Save The Elephants, World Wildlife Fund, and others.
