Color is my language when words are not enough. It speaks through motion, texture, and energy. Each time I begin a new piece, I listen inward before I even touch a brush. I feel for the tone of what is waiting to come through. Is it soft and reflective? Is it bold and urgent? Emotions do not always arrive in neat labels. Sometimes they appear as a vibration, a pulse, or a memory. My job is to meet them where they are and give them a form.
When I work with color, I do not choose it simply because it is pretty or popular. I choose it because it resonates. Blues and teals often carry calm. Reds and oranges bring warmth or intensity. Metallics offer light. Every hue has a frequency, and I match it to the story being told. I use swipe techniques to guide the flow of paint so the colors can blend, separate, and move in ways that mirror the emotion itself. It is not a forced process. It is an invitation to allow the energy to take shape. Some days, I work with layered textures when feelings are complex or hidden. Other days, I let large open spaces breathe through the canvas when simplicity feels honest. The result may feel dreamlike, vibrant, or quiet. What matters most is that it feels true. My intention is not to interpret your feelings for you. It is to offer a mirror, a reflection in motion, where you can see yourself and feel seen in return. If you feel drawn to express something through art, I would be honored to help bring that to life. Whether it is for your space, your journey, or someone you love, I approach each commission with deep respect. You are not requesting decor. You are inviting energy into your space. At Cosmic Spark Designs, I create with healing, inspiration, and connection at heart. Every piece carries intention and light. If you are ready to begin that creative journey, I am here. Let’s make something beautiful together.

On Memorial Day, many hearts grow heavy with remembrance. This day is far more than the unofficial start to summer—it is a sacred pause, a time to honor the courage, sacrifice, and memory of those who have given their lives in military service. For some, it's a national moment of reflection. For others, it's deeply personal—a quiet ache held year-round, brought to the surface by flags, silence, and ceremony.
In this space between grief and gratitude, art has the power to heal. Whether through painting, poetry, sculpture, music, or movement, creative expression offers something words often cannot: a safe place to feel, to release, and to remember. Art as a Language of Remembrance Art has long been used to memorialize lives and legacies. From the etchings on monuments to powerful murals and performances, creativity gives shape to memory. It allows us to witness stories of service, love, loss, and resilience. For those grieving, art becomes a companion—a silent witness to sorrow, and a vessel for remembrance. In my own creative practice, I have seen how a single brushstroke can carry emotion that words cannot hold. The colors chosen, the textures layered, the space between shapes—all become part of a visual conversation between the heart and the canvas. And when shared, that expression becomes a bridge to others. Healing Begins with Expression Memorial Day can stir a complex mixture of feelings: pride, sorrow, longing, gratitude. Holding all of that inside can feel overwhelming. But when we create, we move those feelings out of the body and into form. That movement is healing. Art doesn’t ask us to fix the pain. It simply invites us to feel, to honor, and to keep memory alive through beauty and presence. Creating something in honor of someone we’ve lost—whether it’s a small painting, a letter, a song, or even planting flowers—can be a powerful ritual. It reminds us that love continues. That grief can coexist with beauty. That remembrance can take root and bloom. A Safe Space Behind the Booth At festivals, I often meet people who carry stories behind their eyes. Sometimes they speak them aloud; sometimes they don’t need to. But again and again, I’ve witnessed how a piece of art can open the door to healing. They see a painting and it reminds them of a place, a person, a moment. And in that recognition, something softens. This Memorial Day, I invite you to pause and make space for whatever you are holding. Light a candle. Take a walk in nature. Create something. Visit a gallery. Journal. Let your heart express what it needs to—because in doing so, you honor not only the memory of those we've lost, but also your own journey of healing. Art as a Living Memorial Art is not just a tribute—it’s a living memorial. One that continues to speak, to comfort, to inspire. It’s where memory meets meaning, and where grief finds its voice. My mission is to create works that offer solace, reflection, and light. On this day of remembrance, may we all find ways to honor through creativity—to lift up stories, to soothe the soul, and to remember with love. With a heart full of gratitude and peace, Artist Penny FireHorse Before the sun rises, I’m already moving with quiet purpose—packing crates filled with color, gathering display pieces that hold intention, and checking my toolkit with care. There’s a sacred rhythm to these early hours, a blend of stillness and anticipation. Each festival day begins this way, not just with preparation, but with devotion. Though the booth may be temporary, the experience that unfolds there is anything but.
Exhibiting at a festival is more than setting up a space—it’s about showing up wholeheartedly. Each piece I create carries meaning, infused with emotion, memory, and hope. When I arrange my work for display, it’s like opening a door to something intimate and real. Every brushstroke, every texture, every hue is part of a story—and once the gates open, that story becomes a living conversation. What I’ve come to cherish most is the connection. People come to festivals not only for art, but for feeling—for inspiration, for healing, for joy. Some are searching. Some are celebrating. Some are simply exploring. When someone pauses in front of my work, I meet them where they are. I listen, I hold space, and I welcome their interpretation. In that moment, the art becomes theirs, and something beautiful is exchanged—an energy, a recognition, a spark. Yes, the practical things matter, too. I keep my booth clean, inviting, and grounded in presence. I bring a mix of original pieces, prints, and hand-painted functional art, because I believe beauty belongs not just on walls, but in everyday life. I care for myself throughout the day—breathing deeply, staying hydrated, and moving with gratitude. No two festivals are ever the same. Some days are quiet and reflective; others are full of energy and motion. I never know who I’ll meet or which piece will call to them. That mystery keeps me inspired. My role isn’t to predict—it’s to create with openness and allow what’s meant to happen to unfold naturally. If you ever feel drawn to one of my booths, I would be honored to welcome you. Come as you are. Take your time. If something resonates, let’s talk. My art is here to support your journey—to offer beauty, healing, and reflection. Each piece is created with care and intention, and behind the booth, I’m simply holding space for you to discover what your heart is ready to receive. Creating Light Through Art: A Journey of Healing and Hope
Art has a gentle way of revealing beauty—even in life’s most difficult moments. For me, the act of creating has always been a way to turn pain into purpose, transforming feelings of brokenness into something meaningful, expressive, and whole. Artistic expression isn’t just about making something visually beautiful; it’s a path to healing, self-discovery, and emotional release. Hope in Every Stroke When life feels overwhelming, creativity offers a way through. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence. Letting go, trusting the process, and allowing color and movement to speak where words often fall short. I’ve found that creating something vibrant and full of life reconnects me with my own sense of hope. The colors I use become a language of resilience, telling quiet stories of growth, strength, and renewal. Intentional Energy, Heartfelt Expression Each piece I make begins with stillness and intention. Whether I’m working with acrylic paint, hand-painting glassware, or developing a digital composition, I focus on channeling calm, energy, and joy. The result is artwork designed to not only be seen—but felt. A reflection of transformation, created to bring peace, light, and connection into your space. Celebrating the Beauty of Your Journey At Cosmic Spark Designs, I believe art can be a powerful companion through healing and change. My goal is to help you honor your unique journey—whether through a personalized commission or a piece that simply speaks to your spirit. Each creation is crafted with heart and care, offering a moment of pause, beauty, and belonging. If you're feeling called to bring healing, color, and connection into your life or the life of someone you love, I would be honored to create something meaningful with you. Visit Cosmic Spark Designs to explore more or reach out about a custom piece made just for your story. My art is a bridge between energy, emotion, and healing. As an intuitive artist and energy worker, I approach each piece as a sacred collaboration between the seen and unseen—a moment of presence, intention, and quiet transformation. Whether I’m painting with acrylics, creating digital illustrations, or hand-painting glassware or pottery, I infuse every creation with the energy I want to share: calm, clarity, and hope.
Before I begin, I take time to ground myself through breathwork and energetic clearing. I tune into the space, the subject, and the emotional frequency of what I’m about to create. My training in energy work allows me to sense what is needed—whether for a commissioned piece or a collection that speaks to universal healing. I let color guide me intuitively, allowing the vibration of each hue to speak louder than any trend. My Heart of Colors Project is a central part of my practice—an offering of visual healing for those navigating grief, trauma, or inner transformation. Through layers of texture, movement, and soul-centered intention, I create a safe visual language for emotions that are often difficult to name. These works are not just expressive—they’re energetic containers meant to soothe, inspire, and support. Living with disabilities has deepened my sensitivity and attunement. It’s taught me to listen more closely—to energy, to spirit, to the quiet wisdom within. That sensitivity flows into every piece I create through Cosmic Spark Designs, where art becomes a sanctuary, and every mark carries the vibration of presence. Art, for me, is not just something to be seen—it’s something to be felt. My mission is to create art that uplifts and gently reconnects people to their own inner light. If my work can bring a moment of peace, reflection, or release, then I know I’ve done what I was meant to do. Bringing Light to Life Through Art
At Cosmic Spark Designs, I believe art is more than something you hang on a wall—it’s a spark, a breath of light, a quiet reminder that beauty and hope still exist. Art has the power to lift heavy energy, brighten quiet corners, and infuse your space with soul. Healing Through Color and Emotion For me, creating art is an act of love and healing. It’s not just about paint or color—it’s about capturing the energy of a moment, the emotion of a journey, the rhythm of resilience. Every brushstroke is an offering of calm, joy, and connection. My goal is to create pieces that not only please the eye but speak to the heart. Your Home, Your Sanctuary Your space should reflect who you are and what you’ve overcome. Whether it’s a small corner or an entire room, surrounding yourself with art that resonates can create a sanctuary that brings you peace and strength. At Cosmic Spark Designs, I offer one-of-a-kind works that are both beautiful and meaningful—art that holds energy, emotion, and intention. Art Made Just for You Each commissioned piece is created with care, attention, and a deep desire to connect. I listen closely to your story, your vision, and your hopes—and then I translate that into a piece that’s uniquely yours. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, healing from something unseen, or simply craving something that feels like you, I’m here to help bring that vision to life. If your heart is nudging you to invite healing art into your life, I’d be honored to create something just for you. Let’s bring light, color, and meaning into your space—together. Blood Moon Rising © Artist Penny FireHorse There are moments when words fall short. Times when pain, confusion, or loss builds up and has nowhere to go. I know what it feels like to carry that weight. When the world feels heavy, art can become a quiet place to land. It can help us move from feeling broken or overwhelmed into a space of calm and clarity. Art does not erase the hard things. It helps us hold them with new hands. Over the years, I have found that artistic expression can shift energy. Through color, shape, and flow, we can release emotions we may not fully understand. Each canvas becomes a dialogue. Each stroke becomes a way to breathe. I often encourage people to explore art not with the goal of being perfect, but simply to begin. Whether you are drawn to bright swirls of paint or soft blended tones, your creative voice has a place and a purpose. It is okay to start small. A single color. A single gesture. With each layer, we make space for peace. At Cosmic Spark Designs, I pour that intention into everything I create. Each piece is made to bring light, color, and movement into a world that sometimes feels stuck. My work is meant to be a source of inspiration and stillness, a way for others to feel seen, comforted, and encouraged. A source of stories of healing, strength, and the beauty that comes when we dare to express ourselves. If you are looking for art that speaks to your journey, that helps turn pain into purpose, I invite you to connect with me. Let’s make something beautiful, together. Before I begin any new piece, I pause. Life moves fast—but creativity needs space to breathe. I start by grounding myself, letting go of distractions so I can tune into the energy I want to channel into the work. Whether I’m preparing for a commission, an exhibit, or something deeply personal for the Heart of Colors Project, I always begin with stillness and intention.
My studio becomes a sanctuary. I often close my eyes, breathe deeply, and feel the energy in the room shift. I clear the space with breath and presence. Colors come to me through feeling—not trends—and I choose my tools intuitively: paints, palette knives, digital brushes, or simply a pencil and paper to let something soft emerge. Sometimes I journal, sometimes I move to music that helps me settle into the rhythm of creation. At Cosmic Spark Designs, every piece begins with presence. I don’t create just to make something—I create to offer something meaningful. Whether it’s an acrylic painting full of movement, a digital illustration infused with quiet energy, or a hand-painted object meant to uplift, my process stays rooted in connection. These rituals are how I meet that purpose. If you’re looking for art created with care and intention—art that invites calm, presence, and meaning—I’d be honored to create something just for you. When I walk into a space, I like to pause, breathe it in, and feel what it’s saying. Every wall, every little corner holds its own vibe — sometimes it’s full of spark and energy, and other times it’s soft, quiet, and in need of something gentle. To me, choosing the right art isn’t just about filling up a wall — it’s about listening to the space and giving it something that helps it feel complete.
At Cosmic Spark Designs, I believe art should flow with the life that’s already there. The right piece can lift the energy in a room, calm the mood, or highlight the natural beauty that’s already waiting to shine. I don’t create or choose art based on trends or what’s “in” — I follow the feeling. Whether it’s a swirling abstract painting or a peaceful digital piece that glows with quiet energy, it’s always made with heart and intention. If you’re looking to bring a little more life, warmth, or “you” into a space, I’d love to help. Every piece I make is guided by care, purpose, and a deep respect for the energy you want to nurture. This isn’t about mass-produced stuff — this is about connection, soul, and honoring the spaces that hold our lives. Let’s create something that feels true to you 💛 When people hear that I’ve sold 25 NFTs and earned nearly $200,000 through digital art, their eyes widen. For many, the NFT space still feels like uncharted territory—uncertain, experimental, and intimidating. But for me, stepping into Web3 wasn’t just a leap into innovation. It was a powerful declaration: I belong here—and so does meaningful, healing art.
Why Being “Web3-Ready” Matters as an Artist Being a Web3-ready artist means more than just minting art on the blockchain. It means embracing a future where creativity is decentralized, ownership is transparent, and artists have greater control over how they share and profit from their work. It’s about being proactive, educated, and aligned with the evolving landscape of digital expression. In a space where artists are often the last to be paid and the first to be overlooked, Web3 flips the narrative. It offers autonomy, royalties, and visibility in a global, blockchain-powered marketplace. For artists like me—who infuse emotion, energy, and purpose into every piece—this is revolutionary. How I Turned Storytelling into Crypto Success My journey into NFTs wasn’t fueled by hype. It was grounded in storytelling, connection, and emotional resonance—the same values that guide all of my commissioned works. Each NFT I minted was more than a digital asset—it was a message of resilience, a burst of color where someone needed hope, or a symbol of personal transformation. And the market responded. Collectors weren’t just buying images. They were investing in meaning. In energy. In the Heart of Colors I put into each piece. This wasn’t about creating just to sell—it was about using Web3 to amplify healing, visibility, and empowerment. And in doing so, I became one of the few artists who can say with confidence: 💥 I’ve sold 64 NFTs and earned over $200K. 💥 What Sets Me Apart in the NFT Space
If you’re an artist thinking about diving into NFTs or digital art marketplaces, here’s my advice:
The Future of Art Is Decentralized—and Human Art has always been about connection. Web3 simply gives us new tools, new platforms, and new possibilities to make those connections stronger, faster, and more direct. As an artist who’s witnessed the healing power of creative expression—and has now brought that into the NFT space—I know we’re only just beginning. If you're ready to explore digital art, or want to commission a piece that captures your own journey, I invite you to join me at CosmicSparkDesigns.com or follow along on my Web3 journey across platforms.
