Welcome

I'm Ronya, artist, advocate, and founder of Redeme Studio.

At Redeme Studio, healing is not a hustle. It’s a return. A return to creativity, to clarity, to the quiet strength already within you.

Here we believe that art is more than expression.
It’s prayer.
It’s hope.
It’s advocacy for the life you are called to live.

Redeme exists to hold space for creative healing, emotional renewal, and gentle empowerment, for individuals who are ready to rise from overwhelm into purpose.

Here, growth is sacred. Progress is personal, and every brushstroke, every breath, every step is a movement toward restoration.

You don't have to explain yourself here.
You don't have to rush yourself here.
You simply begin, and keep beginning, in a space built for your becoming.

Welcome to Redeme Studio. Healing lives here.

 
 
 

  • 👉 Rooted in Diversity
    Raised in a multicultural, multi-faith family with deep Egyptian roots, I spent summers exploring Egypt’s pyramids, street markets, and rich traditions, experiences that shaped my passion for diverse cultures, creativity, and community.

    👉 A Life Filled with Creativity and Connection
    When I'm not leading workshops or creating, you’ll find me exploring hidden gems across NJ and NY, sharing joyful moments with my pets Zion, Deethra, and Eva, or nourishing my soul through family meals, game nights, and creative adventures.

    👉 Fueling Inspiration, Building Community
    I recharge through books, galleries, writing, and quiet sanctuaries of reflection. My lifelong love for art has fueled projects like transforming a vacant storefront into an art gallery and turning a historic silk mill into a creative hub. Creative expression and community-building are at the core of everything I do.

 

The Intersection of Art, Faith, and Well-being

Art has been my language for as long as I can remember.

Raised in a creative, multi-faith home, I discovered early how art, prayer, and expression could offer connection, healing, and hope.

Today, through Redeme Studio, and with years of experience in nonprofit leadership, art education, and therapeutic program design, I create spaces where art, faith, and emotional well-being meet.

Through creative workshops and healing programs, I help others use art not just for expression, but for transformation, nurturing clarity, resilience, and the quiet strength to advocate for their lives.

 
 
 
 
 

The Re-Deme Studio Philosophy

At Redeme, we believe in living each day with intention and imagination, shaping our experiences and surroundings into sacred masterpieces.

From our beginnings as a playful brick-and-mortar creative space to our current offerings in classrooms, online workshops, and community settings, our commitment remains the same: nurturing emotional wellbeing through therapeutic art and social-emotional learning.

We cultivate a spirit of gentle creativity, compassion, and empowerment, fostering a love for art and human flourishing in every form.

 

  • Therapeutic art uses visual expression to improve well-being. Unlike art therapy, it focuses on personal growth, not specific mental health issues or clinical practice. By exploring emotions through art, people can reduce stress and gain mental clarity.

  • At Redeme believe art and faith are deeply intertwined. The creative process mirrors a spiritual journey: a leap of faith, followed by shaping and refining until the evidence of what we hope for becomes reality.

    Art can be a powerful tool for spiritual exploration and connection. Our programs may incorporate practices like contemplative prayer to foster deeper awareness, connection with God and spiritual well-being. Learn more about creative contemplation here. 

    We are passionate about building unity through diverse faith perspectives. While some programs are inspired by the Christian faith, we welcome people of all beliefs, as we hold a deep appreciation for the richness that diversity brings.
