About the founder
Samantha Leichty
From a young age I’ve had a passion for anything creative. I love bringing people together and cultivating positive environments for others to connect, be creative, and experience peace and joy.
While my love of painting has increased I wondered how I can use art to do just that. God has directed my steps and opened the door to begin this process by leading my own classes/parties.
After my recent trip to Rwanda, I was inspired by meeting local artists as well as getting to bring art supplies to a school house there. After seeing the joy and positive connections made with others despite a language barrier I discovered the beauty of art in a new way.
I believe we all have creativity within us that is made to be shared with each other. I hope to inspire others and spark something within them that leads them to discover their own passions and gifts, using it to also bring more beauty to the world around them.
More about Samantha:
My greatest passion in life is Jesus. He is the reason I am here today, able to dream up something like Revive Studio. In my free time I am probably doing something involving my faith. From co-leading a women’s life group, to walking alongside other missionaries to cultivate different avenues for gospel saturation in Kansas City, to slowly leading 4 generations of my family to the Lord over the past few years through weekly bible studies and intentional gatherings, or simply enjoying quiet time with Jesus in nature, I am never running out of things to do. I consider myself a full time missionary. In everything I do I do it all for the Lord.
