Hello! My name is Carlie Suris, and I’m so excited to be part of the art studio at Friendship Circle. I’ve been connected with FC since I was a little girl, and it’s been such a special part of my life—not just for me, but for my entire family. We’ve all found deep friendships and relationships here that mean the world to us. Now, as a 22-year-old artist, I’ve discovered a true passion for painting and creating in this amazing space. The support and inspiration I’ve received from Friendship Circle have shaped not just my art but also my dreams. Because of my experiences here, I’ve developed a deep love for working with kids with special needs, and I’m excited to pursue a career in special education and child care. I can’t wait to continue growing as an artist and making a difference in the lives of others, just like FC has done for me and my family!

Please donate to my page so I can continue to thrive under the umbrella of Friendship Circle!
