Millie Marie Cardenas is a multidisciplinary artist, space holder, and creative guide based in Baltimore, Maryland. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she carries with her a deep appreciation for storytelling, resourcefulness, and the quiet power of community.

Her artistic practice blends craft, mindfulness, and inner child work, drawing on a lifetime of using art as a tool for self-expression, reflection, and healing. Through painting, building, sculpting, and tactile play, Millie creates both personal work and shared experiences that invite others to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with their creative voice.

At the heart of her work is a belief that art is not just about making things—it’s about becoming more ourselves. She’s passionate about holding space for others to explore their creativity without judgment, and to rediscover the joy of making through both guided and intuitive practices.

Whether she’s facilitating a hands-on workshop or lost in a solo creative flow, Millie shows up with warmth, intention, and a sense of play. She finds inspiration in everyday textures, recycled materials, handmade objects, and the stories that emerge when people gather to create.
