Hello! My name is Dani, and I am the proud owner and artist of Happily Painted. I founded Happily Painted with a simple mission: to share my passion for art with as many people as possible by offering accessible, affordable, and confidence-building creative experiences. I truly believe that with a little guidance and practice, anyone can learn to paint—and I am dedicated to helping my students realize they are capable of far more than they may think.

Art should be fun, exciting, and a powerful form of personal expression. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, encouraging environment where people of all ages can explore their creativity without pressure. With over seven years of experience and more than 400 events led, I specialize in both acrylic painting and the widely loved wet-on-wet oil painting technique.

Since opening Happily Painted in May 2022, I have continued to grow and expand, recently opening a dedicated studio space in Selah to further share my love of art with our community. At Happily Painted Studio, we offer kids art clubs and workshops, family-friendly paint events, private lessons, birthday parties, team-building sessions, oil painting classes and workshops, and even traveling oil painting classes that bring the experience directly to you.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue building a creative community and look forward to welcoming even more artists into the wonderful world of painting!
