About… including Store hours

My name is Renée Mak and I’m the artist behind Fuss It Up! Designs.  Fuss It Up! Designs is a boutique and art studio!  This  site will cover all things Fuss It Up! and Studio 222.

Artist/Owner Renée Mak

Almost halfway thru life I discovered that I see things a little differently than most people.  Rarely is anything ordinary in my eyes, and if I think it is, well then… I feel compelled to “fuss it up” and make it better.  I love and appreciate art of all kinds… but really love bold colors, textures and patterns!  That’s why mixed media art gives me such joy. And the one thing I love more than doing art is doing art with other artists!  At Studio 222, EVERYONE is an artist!!!  There is no wrong way to design and create artwork! Whether it’s on a canvas, a t-shirt, or hanging from  a chain… it’s ALL art!   So celebrate your inner artist and join in!  If you’re local, stop by and say hello at 222 5th Street, Valley Junction- West Des Moines Iowa.  If you’re joining in online, well don’t be a stranger… SAY HELLO ANYTIME!

Store Hours:

Due to the restructuring of my business, the store has been

    Hi Renee:

    I met you this morning at church. I thought I would check out your website from the card that you gave me. It was so nice to meet you this morning. I hope to come over and check out your shop sometime.

    Take care.

    Rene, I can hardly wait to see your girl with the pearl earing. I had so much fun tonight painting with you and Matisse.

    Hi. Darnell and Roger here. We met you last year, while we were in town for the quilt expo. We talked for a while. Just wanted to drop off a note to let you know that we will be in the area on Thursday March 10th. We are bringing along some artsy items that we would like your opinion on. Can’t wait to catch up.
