The Gracewell Studio

A studio for
all of you.

Part studio, part shop, part magazine. Handmade pieces and five paths to wander, for the ones reaching for a more creative, well-lived life.

Handmade in New York · One of a kind

Made with joy, made for you.

An open invitation

All of you is welcome here.


I am Kristina. Nurse. Minister. Reiki Master. Artist. Mother. For most of my life I kept these different parts of me in separate rooms. Then I built one studio where they all live together. Welcome to Gracewell.

Gracewell is many things woven into one. A studio. A shop. A magazine. A discovery journey organized in five paths for you to wander and explore.

This is a space where creativity, curiosity and authenticity are valued and revered. Our nervous systems lead the way and our creative explorations are shared with you in the shop. Gracewell is a vibe, a frequency, it's joy and lovingly curated for you to explore and lean into what sparkles.

Wander in and you'll meet Violet, a felt character with gingham bows and strong opinions. Beside her, my mother Monina's heritage bags, hand-embellished and entirely her own. On the shelf, my son Tyler's Tinker Cubes, for busy hands and curious minds. On the page, essays from a life I have actually lived. Every piece is one of a kind. So is the person who carries it home.

A real life takes a lot of shapes. So does a real welcome.
