About Us
Sunshine Creative Reuse was established to inspire creativity and increase access to the arts through creative reuse. Founded in 2024 by Jamie Oulton, the non-profit was inspired by a visit to ReCraft, a creative reuse center in [location]. With a strong background in environmental science and a deep passion for the arts, Jamie envisioned a way to combine her interests within a non-profit framework.
​
After relocating to Western North Carolina in late 2024, she recognized that her dream could address the need for increased access to creative supplies in Transylvania County. In 2025, Sunshine Creative Reuse appointed its first board, setting the stage to work towards opening a physical location.

Bekah Wallace
Board Member
Bekah grew up in a family with a fully stocked craft cupboard and is happiest sitting on the floor, creating vibrant mood boards with paper and scraps. A lifelong connector of people and ideas, she brings creativity and community spirit to everything she does. With a background in social entrepreneurship and community development, Bekah is thrilled to bring her passion for creativity and community to the Sunshine Creative Reuse Board. She first discovered the magic of a creative reuse store when her daughter was preschool age in Ann Arbor, MI, and now looks forward to sharing that joy with families in our community.

Shiloh is always on the lookout for creative new projects. Sunshine Creative Reuse is a natural fit for her passions for sustainability and accessible arts.
What is creative reuse?
Creative reuse is all about turning existing materials (art supplies or not) into something new.

By repurposing materials that would otherwise be thrown away, creative reuse allows makers and artists to divert waste from the landfill.
