Becoming

I didn't start painting because I was talented. I started because everything else had stopped working.

Paint Yourself Happy isn't a brand. It's what happens when you pour everything you've survived onto a canvas and realize — it's actually beautiful. The chaos. The grief. The fire.

“Without insanity there would be no art.”

The memoir Becoming chronicles Chapter XXII and everything after. This platform is the Aftermath — what gets built when the burning stops and you're still here.

The Ash Memorial series began with a single request from a grieving mother. It grew into one of the most sacred offerings I make — taking what remains of someone and painting them permanently into existence.
