Audrey Christensen is a writer, mixed media textile artist, creative business coach, and speaker based in Ogden, Utah. She is the artist behind Hey Be Fab, the founder of The yART Sale, and the producer behind Ogden Arts After Dark. These are three branches of the same devotion: creativity as a means of survival, connection, and self-discovery.

Through Hey Be Fab, Audrey creates stitched watercolor pieces that blend pigment and thread into something intimate and alive, art that feels like a soft place to land. Her work holds the in-between moments: after love ends, after life changes shape, in the quiet hour when you realize you are not who you were, and you are not done arriving.

The themes she returns to again and again are the ones most people try to hide: grief, desire, longing, motherhood, shame, reinvention. Not as decoration. Not as content. But as truth. As proof of living. Her pieces are not meant to be perfect. They are meant to be felt.

Alongside her visual work, Audrey is a poet and essayist. On Substack, she writes the way some people pray: not to be impressive, but to be honest. Her words explore what it means to rebuild a life from the inside out, how you learn to trust yourself again, how you come back to your body, how you stop making your needs small. How you keep going when no one’s clapping.

But Audrey’s work is not only what she makes. It is what she builds.

She founded The yART Sale because artists deserve more than the sidelines. They deserve tables, walls, microphones, rooms that feel like yes. She produces Ogden Arts After Dark because community does not just happen. It is created. These events are not just markets. They are gathering places. Proof that art belongs in everyday life, and that creativity is not a luxury reserved for the lucky. It is a lifeline for the willing.

As a creative business coach, Audrey helps artists stop shrinking around their gifts and start building something sustainable. She teaches makers how to price their work, show up confidently, and create momentum without abandoning their softness. She believes structure can be supportive, not suffocating, and that success does not have to come at the cost of your nervous system.

As a speaker, she shows up with the same energy her work carries: honest, grounded, funny when it needs to be, and deeply human. She speaks about creativity, survival, identity, reinvention, and what happens when you stop waiting to be chosen and decide to choose yourself.

Across everything she does, art, writing, coaching, and community, Audrey’s mission stays the same:

to tell the truth, to create beauty from what’s real, and to build spaces where other people can do the same.
