Throughout her adult life, Pippenburg has been involved in multiple charitable causes and has been responsible for leading several philanthropic affairs. She’s traveled internationally to establish relationships with government leaders, charitable organizations, and communities in need. Her most recent project involved establishing a Cultural Arts Center for children in San Marcos, Nicaragua.

Pippenburg is the mother to a 12-year-old son who is heavily involved in martial arts, piano, and loves to write his own music. Instilling good values and morals along with inspiring through art, is a priority. For Pippenburg, children are our present and our future; her son is her driving force.

“Everything around us is in some way, shape, or form, is art. There is an artist in every one of us and we all have the innate ability to create. Art allows our soul to express its happiness, pain, desires and goals through a healthy medium. When communities have the right tools, art saturates and impacts lives with positive influence and change. Let’s color the world with creativity, love, understanding and most importantly – opportunity. In the end, we’re all a part of the big picture.”
