My name is Carla Wells I've been a Serial Entrepreneur for almost 20 years now. If I had a title, it would be Creative Architect because I love creating and building unique businesses. I'm also a multi-faceted mixed media artist and visual communicator, known for my fun, creative enthusiastic energy, and encouraging heart. I show up in the world in many ways to share my gifts talents, and abilities.
In 2017 at the age of 51, I claimed my inner artist and I haven't stopped sharing the power of creative expression. A true artist at heart, I bring a creative innovative spirit to everything I do, from my successful interior design business to creating empowering art and healing programs for women, youth, and families. As CEO of Art & Soul, I lead the charge for mental health and wellness through our Paint With Purpose Healing Arts Program.
My vision is to awaken the gifts within, connect and bridge humanity, and serve others through the arts. It is more than a business it is part of my life’s work. I now help others discover their purpose by processing pain and trauma through creative expression.
Alongside my husband, I have also founded a unique transitional supportive housing program that offers hope and stability to justice-involved youth, men, and women seeking alternative community-dwelling and the unhoused.
As the CEO of Well Living, Inc. I am truly invested and compassionate about housing the underserved and have developed a highly efficient and effective supportive housing model backed by evidence-based transformations in our residents. I hold a lead role in building community partnerships and in facilitating the housing resource navigators as well as overseeing the Art & Soul Wellness Programs for our residents.
