About Us

Studio 13 grew directly from the evolution of Krebs Kreates. As demand for art experiences and alternative wellness practices increased, it became clear that the community needed a permanent creative home—a place where people could slow down, stay awhile, and connect through art.

Artist, Creative Director

Monique Cherrelle

Monique is a self-taught artist, certified life coach, and creative facilitator with over six years of experience working in the mental health and behavioral health field. Her background blends science, psychology, and art, allowing her to approach creativity as both an expressive outlet and a tool for emotional wellness.

She is the founder of Krebs Kreates, an art-centered brand that began as a personal creative practice and evolved into one-on-one and small group art experiences focused on expression, release, and self-discovery—rather than technique or perfection.

Monique believes art should feel safe, accessible, and human, especially for those who have never considered themselves “artists.” Her vision for Studio 13 is rooted in inclusion, healing, and giving people permission to create without pressure.
