Kiraya found herself creative at age three and started drawing her own stories. Her room walls were covered with all the pictures she had painted. She liked any subject that had a creative side to it, whether she did it with her hands, body, or voice. Why this was so, she didn’t know, but it took her in many different directions, some stayed as interests and hobbies

Interests and Hobbies throughout her entire life
Painting and drawing led the way because she could talk to her inner self while working. After high school, she thought that it might take a lifetime to be good enough at painting to sell her work. Maybe she could make some jewelry to generate immediate money.
She started doing wire and bead jewelry and that grew into wanting to solder, cut, and assemble.
Jewelry took over for a while, but she wasn’t done with painting she received a Journeyman making from Mastercraft Jewelry Company. Later, she became self-employed and started Creations by Kiraya. She decided to create jewelry in the late fall through early spring and switch to painting from late spring to early fall. The changing of mediums kept ideas fresh for her.
