Hi! I'm Ranell

I'm a mom, farmgirl, animal lover, and cancer survivor.

I’ve always loved creating, but this business became something much deeper after walking through some of the hardest seasons of my life. After surviving cancer twice and losing my daughter, Piper, I found my way back to painting as a way to heal.

What began as something to help me get through the day has grown into a business centered around joy, connection, and meaningful home décor.

Today, I specialize in interchangeable truck signs and seasonal inserts, designed to make decorating simple, beautiful, and effortless—one piece, endless possibilities.

Every design is created with intention, love, and a whole lot of heart.

Painting has always been a part of my life. But after my daughter died a couple years ago, it became my vessel to healing, inspiring, and transforming.

I’ve always been a creator at heart.

Some of my earliest memories are crafting with my mom, and by high school, painting nights with friends were just part of life. I even dreamed of opening a ceramic shop one day… until they all started closing and I realized I might need a different path.

Life took me in a few different directions—I built and ran businesses, chased goals, and stayed driven—but two things never left me: my love for creating and my love for home.

Then everything changed.

After surviving cancer twice and spending seven months in the hospital with my daughter, Piper, my world shifted completely. When she passed away, I stepped away from everything. The ambition, the businesses, the constant striving—it all felt different.

In the quiet that followed, I found my way back to painting.

What started as something to help me get through the day became something much more. Every brushstroke became a way to heal. A way to process. A way to stay connected to her.

That’s where Creations by Ranell was born.

Today, I create handcrafted home decor designed to bring joy into your everyday life—especially my signature interchangeable truck signs and inserts. What began as simple pieces has grown into a collection that helps you decorate your home effortlessly through every season.

One truck. Endless possibilities.

From seasonal inserts to holiday designs and everyday décor, my pieces are made to help you celebrate life’s moments—big and small—without overcomplicating your space.

But this business is more than decor.

Every piece I paint carries meaning. It carries healing. It carries love.

When you bring one of my designs into your home, you’re not just decorating—you’re becoming part of a story. A story of resilience, faith, and finding light again after loss.

And in honor of Piper, at least 15% of all proceeds are donated to families with children who have special needs at Children’s Hospital.

My prayer is simple:

That every piece you receive brings a little more joy into your home.

A little more light into your life.

And a reminder that even in the hardest seasons… beauty still exists.

We have a "Ranell's Standard" in my shop:

QUALITY
Made from durable and sealed for indoor/outdoor use, my paintings are of the highest quality.
DETAIL
Most items are not just one color. They are mixed to get the perfect shade and to look as realistic as possible. Accent lines and shading are used to create depth.
IMPACT
God called me to this for 2 reasons:
1) Everything I do, I am to spread joy, light, and love.

2) To use the proceeds to give and pass it forward.
