Happily Painted

We painted some absolutely amazing pink sunset skies last night at the studio! Didn’t they do amazing?!
Since it’s my anniversary week, Fridays class also included a paint ticket giveaway and two paintings were given away to the most positive people in the group. It was SO much fun!

If you want to get in on the fun you’re able to check out my upcoming events at happilypainted.com/events

💙🎨 ANNIVERSARY WEEK GIVEAWAY WINNER 🎨💙

As we celebrate 4 years of Happily Painted, I want to take a moment to recognize someone who has been an incredible part of this journey.

Congratulations to Kolzow, the winner of a FREE paint class! 🎉

Over the last four years, I have taught more than 500 paint classes and events, and out of all those classes, Amy has attended more events than anyone else. She has grown into quite the artist over the years as well. Not only has she been a familiar face at Happily Painted, but she has also been painting with me since my days teaching for Paint Nite. Through venue changes, new paintings, a studio opening, and hundreds of classes, Amy has continued to show up, support local art, and share in this creative adventure.

As a small business owner and artist, there are people who quietly make a huge difference. Amy is one of those people. Every ticket purchased, every class attended, every encouraging word, and every time she brought a friend along helped me continue doing what I love.

Amy, thank you for believing in me, supporting my dream, and being part of this journey for so many years. It means more than you know. 💙

To everyone who has attended a class, shared a post, recommended Happily Painted to a friend, or supported my little business over these last four years—thank you. You have helped turn a dream into a studio, a community, and over 500 creative events that I never could have imagined when I first started.

Everyone, help me congratulate Amy in the comments! 👏🎉

FOUR YEARS AS HAPPILY PAINTED 💛🎨

Today marks 4 years as Happily Painted, and I honestly can’t fully put into words how much this journey has meant to me.

Opening a studio in my hometown was one of the biggest leaps of faith I’ve ever taken. Selah is where I was raised, where my children have grown up, and being able to bring art, creativity, and community to the place I call home has been incredibly special to me.

Over the last 4 years, I’ve watched complete beginners discover a love for painting and friendships form across paint-covered tables. I’ve watched artists grow in their skills, believe in themselves, and even go on to open their own gallery. I’ve seen students from my classes win awards, gain confidence, and continue practicing until they were able to start selling their own artwork.

That will never stop being rewarding to me, and I will always be here to be your biggest cheerleader.

Thank you to every single person who has supported Happily Painted, taken a class, shared a post, or simply believed in what I was building. You helped turn a dream into a real part of this community 💛

And honestly… we’re JUST getting started ✨

Join us as we celebrate this milestone with SO many FUN things planned next week. Giveaways, prizes, and lots of laughs. Here's to another four years!
