Hi, I’m Charity (she/they)

I’m an advocate, a problem solver, and most of all, a creator. My journey started with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, where I explored illustration, figurative sculpture, life painting, and live performances at the DAM and BlackCube. Each of these paths shaped the way I see art—not just as a form of expression, but as a way of being. For me, creating has always been about exploring who I am and building connections with others as they define their own authenticity.

If there’s one thing I’ve always known, it’s that I am an artist. I fell in love with photography in 2007 when I picked up my first DSLR, a Nikon D40, and since then I've been chasing those dreamlike, fleeting moments. In college, I immersed myself in composition and design, learning how to craft visual stories that stir emotion and slow time in quiet but powerful ways. The one thing that drives me most is the desire to create beauty—not just in the world around me, but from within, whether I’m behind the camera, standing at an easel painting, or working with a model for a sculpture.

I’ve always been drawn to the dark and the moody, the unexpected and the usual. As a goth, alt-coded queer person, I embrace the raw, the imperfect, and the unrefined. My work is where I carve out something real and honest, something that challenges the ordinary.

At the heart of it all, I want to create spaces where people can feel safe, included, and celebrated for who they truly are. For me, authenticity is not just encouraged, it’s the purpose.

Kristina Fischer

Soulistic Home Mortgage

I’m Kristina Fischer (she/her)

Holistic Mortgage Advisor, Wealth & Empowerment Coach, and founder of Soulistic Home Mortgage. For me, financial empowerment isn’t just about numbers — it’s about freedom, stability, and building a life aligned with your values.

Early on, I realized how few women were ever given real tools or safe spaces to have honest conversations about money. After personally navigating burnout, financial overwhelm, and scarcity, I became committed to creating safe, grounded spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to rewrite their financial stories. That’s what sparked my mission: to bridge the gap between wealth and wellness, and create spaces where financial education leads to real, lasting change. With over a decade of experience and $200M+ in closed home loans, I’ve guided hundreds of clients — individuals, couples, and first time home buyers— through credit repair, savings, homeownership, and real estate investing. My approach blends practical financial strategy with mindset coaching, helping my clients build wealth on their own terms. At Soulistic, we create clarity, confidence, and aligned action — because financial freedom isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about having the support, education, and confidence to make empowered decisions—and knowing you don’t have to do it alone.
