Every color I choose begins with intention. Before I ever pick up a brush or swipe tool, I take a quiet moment with the canvas and simply listen. What does this piece want to become? Color, to me, is emotion—it’s a language that speaks straight to the heart without needing words. Sometimes I feel warmth rising, and shades of gold begin to glow. Other times I sense stillness, and soft blues gently unfold. There are days when a single hue carries the whole story in layered whispers, and others when color bursts across the canvas, dancing with energy and joy. I don’t force it or try to control the outcome. Instead, I trust the process. There’s something sacred about watching a palette form organically—unexpected, alive, and deeply honest. That’s where the magic lives: in the surprise of what shows up when you allow color to guide the way. Each piece becomes more than paint on canvas—it’s a reflection of what’s waiting to be seen, felt, and honored. If you feel drawn to explore your own journey through color, I’d be honored to create something meaningful for you. Every palette at Cosmic Spark Designs is born from intention, crafted with care, and created as an expression of connection and truth. ✨ Thank you for letting art and color be part of your story.

Color has a way of speaking long before words can. It bypasses logic and reaches straight into feeling. A soft blue can calm the breath, while a glowing orange can spark warmth and energy in a quiet room. Color stirs memories, shifts moods, and changes the way a space feels—and that is the magic I lean into when I paint. For me, it’s never just about how a color looks on the canvas—it’s about how it feels in the heart. Every shade carries its own story, its own voice. When I start a new piece, I pause and listen: What energy is needed here? Sometimes it’s peace, sometimes joy, sometimes a gentle release. I let the colors rise naturally, layering them with intention and flow until they begin to sing together. The process becomes more than making art—it becomes holding space. A space for healing, reflection, calm, or energy to move again. That’s why each painting is so personal, both for me as the artist and for the person who welcomes it into their life If you feel drawn to honor a memory, an emotion, or simply bring new energy into your space, I would be honored to create something just for you. Every piece I create at Cosmic Spark Designs is crafted with care, purpose, and colors chosen to reflect what is true for you. This is more than art—it’s presence, expression, and energy brought to life. ✨ Thank you for being here and for allowing my art to be part of your journey. There are moments in life when words just don’t feel big enough. Birthdays, goodbyes, fresh starts, or even quiet gestures of love can leave us searching for something deeper. That’s where art comes in. Art speaks in color, energy, and emotion—it lingers, it comforts, it celebrates. A gift like that doesn’t just sit on a shelf; it becomes part of someone’s story. When you give art made with intention, you’re offering more than a present. You’re offering presence. Every commissioned piece I create begins with listening. Sometimes people arrive with a clear vision, and other times it starts with a single memory, a color, or a feeling they can’t quite put into words. From there, I work with care and intuition, layering each stroke with meaning. Whether it’s a bold painting to cheer on a new chapter, or a gentle piece to honor someone deeply missed, my goal is always the same: to create art that holds space for connection and continues to speak long after the moment has passed. If someone in your life is stepping into change, celebrating a milestone, or simply needs a reminder of beauty and love, I would be honored to create a piece just for them. Every artwork from Cosmic Spark Designs is handcrafted with intention, care, and the energy of the heart behind the gift. ✨ To explore custom commissions or learn more, visit Cosmic Spark Designs. Thank you for letting art be part of your giving story. Life can get a little overwhelming sometimes, can’t it? The world gets noisy, responsibilities stack up, and even the tiniest decisions start to feel heavy. When that happens, I find myself drawn back to my canvas—not with a plan, but with a simple need to breathe. One of my favorite ways to find that calm is through the swipe technique. For me, it’s not just about moving paint—it’s about letting go. As the colors stretch and blend across the surface, my thoughts begin to slow. Each pull of the swipe feels like a release, a reminder that I don’t have to control everything. There’s something almost sacred about it. I gently mix the colors, then sweep the paint in one fluid motion. The edges soften, cells bloom open, and suddenly the canvas is telling its own story. I just follow along—pausing, breathing, trusting the process. What starts as movement turns into meditation. The noise fades, and what remains is presence, peace, and possibility. If you’ve been craving a little stillness in your life, I’d love to share that energy with you. My swipe paintings are created with intention and flow, each one unique and filled with calm, steady energy. They’re meant to hold space for reflection, joy, and quiet beauty. ✨ If this speaks to you, I invite you to explore my work or even begin a commission through Cosmic Spark Designs. Thank you for allowing my art to be part of your journey toward stillness and light. Setting up my festival booth is one of the most rewarding parts of the artist’s journey. It’s where my artwork moves from the quiet studio space into the vibrant energy of a festival or art show. Each setup is unique—the natural light shifts, the breeze changes the atmosphere, and I carefully listen to how the space wants to be arranged for the best flow and impact.
Before packing for any art fair or festival, I thoughtfully select which paintings and pieces to bring. Not every artwork travels with me; I tune into the colors, shapes, and stories that feel ready to be shared with a new audience. Some pieces are bold and attention-grabbing, while others invite quiet reflection—all chosen to create a balanced and compelling artist booth. When I arrive at the festival site, I take time to walk the booth space before unpacking. This allows me to sense the energy and decide how best to position my artwork for maximum engagement. I start by placing the largest canvases or the most vibrant functional pieces as anchors—these act as focal points or “visual altars.” From there, I layer in smaller works, carefully considering flow, visibility, and audience experience. Setting up a festival booth is a creative act in itself. I don’t rush the process but instead breathe with it, letting the walls, tables, and colors form a welcoming environment. The goal is more than just displaying art; it’s to create a healing and hopeful space where visitors feel invited to connect, reflect, and be inspired. If you visit my booth at any art festival or craft fair, know that everything you see has been placed with intention and care. It’s not just a booth—it’s a sanctuary of creativity, presence, and possibility designed to welcome you in. In love and light, always and in all ways... Artist Penny FireHorse A Pause Before the Paint
Before a brush touches the canvas or a single drop of color flows, I pause. I take a deep, grounding breath—not just to center myself, but to feel the heartbeat of the space around me. There’s something magical in that moment of stillness. It’s the place where inspiration first stirs, where silence becomes an open door to something greater. For me, that’s where the creative current begins to shimmer and speak. Painting with Energy and Emotion My art is a dance between energy and emotion. I work in layers—layers of paint, yes, but also layers of presence and feeling. Sometimes the colors drift in like a gentle whisper, other times they surge forward like a joyful tide. I never try to force them. Instead, I listen and follow, letting my swipe techniques become a flowing, intuitive prayer in motion. Each movement feels like light gliding across the canvas, alive and breathing. More Than Visual Beauty—A Vessel of Healing Every piece I create is more than something to look at—it’s meant to feel. To hold a pocket of peace. To radiate hope. To wrap the viewer in warmth. My materials may be acrylics, glass, or mixed media, but my true medium is intention. I choose vibrant colors not only for their beauty but because they hum with life. They pulse with memory, joy, and possibility. Whether I’m painting a canvas or transforming a functional object into a piece of art, my wish is always the same: that it becomes a vessel of healing, joy, and connection. Creating Art That Listens and Speaks If you’ve ever felt that art could be more than decoration—if you’ve sensed it could be a companion, a healer, or a quiet guide—then we’re already speaking the same language. At Cosmic Spark Designs, I create custom pieces that honor your stories, celebrate your milestones, and mark the turning points in your journey. Every creation is infused with meaning and crafted with care. This is art that listens. Art that speaks gently. Art that glows from within. If your heart is ready, I’d be honored to create something beautiful with you. In love and light, always and in all ways... Artist Penny FireHorse Every room has a rhythm.
Some feel grounded, quiet. Others crackle with energy. When I create art, I listen for that rhythm before I ever choose a canvas or color. It’s the same inner tuning I use when imagining how a piece will live in a space. Because to me, art isn’t just decoration—it’s the heartbeat of the room. It shapes how we feel, how we move, and how we rest within a space. A quiet hallway may call for soft tones and gentle textures—art that guides you without interrupting your thoughts. A kitchen, buzzing with stories and movement, might welcome bold strokes and warm colors that invite joy and connection. In bedrooms or meditation corners, I lean into slower, more intentional strokes—tones that soothe, textures that breathe. These pieces are created to hold space, not take it. Living rooms often carry the emotional core of a home. They hold laughter, conversation, and sometimes quiet grief. For these walls, I often use fluid movement and layered light to reflect life’s complexities. Functional pieces—like hand-painted teapot sets, trays, or drinking glasses—can add color and intention without overwhelming the space. At Cosmic Spark Designs, I create with deep care. Every commission is more than a product—it’s a collaboration between your space, your energy, and my creative flow. If you have a room asking for more—more calm, more warmth, more presence—I’d be honored to craft something that meets it with intention. Together, we can bring soul and story into every corner of your home. As Always and In All Ways... Love and Light, Artist Penny FireHorse The world is loud. There’s a constant pull to move faster, do more, respond quicker—to keep up with a rhythm that often doesn’t leave room to breathe.
For me, art became that breath. Not through one defining moment, but through the quiet unfolding of each brushstroke. It was in the blending of colors and the slow movement of paint that I found a return to center. I realized tranquility wasn’t just something I longed for—it was something I was meant to create. Tranquility, to me, is not stillness without life. It’s not the absence of energy. It’s the presence of balance. My work often carries motion, boldness, and texture—but every element is placed with care, offering a sense of calm. Through my signature swipe techniques, I create flow that mimics water or the wind—movement that soothes rather than overwhelms. The colors I choose aren’t just beautiful; they are chosen for how they speak to memory, to breath, to emotion. I believe art can anchor us in a world that is constantly shifting. Tranquility is also what I hope to offer others through my work. Whether it’s a painting hanging in your home, a custom commission made just for you, or a hand-painted tray or planter from a festival—my intention is always the same: to create a small sanctuary. A quiet space you can return to when life feels heavy. Something that gently reminds you to pause. To notice. To breathe. Before I begin any piece, I pause too. I clear the space, listen, and let the energy guide me. That stillness becomes part of the process—and it stays within the finished piece. If you are someone drawn to calm, to healing, to honoring your own journey—I would be honored to create for you. Every piece from Cosmic Spark Designs is made with intention and care. You’re not just bringing home art. You’re inviting in a moment of peace. And in that space, between breath and color, you become part of the story—held in every line, every stroke, every spark. As Always and in All Ways...In Love and Light, Artist Penny FireHorse There’s a kind of magic that happens when people gather to create. A paint party is more than brushes and color on a canvas—it’s a joyful invitation to slow down, connect, and share space with others in an uplifting, meaningful way.
In a world that moves fast, creative gatherings offer a gentle pause. You don’t need to be an artist to enjoy the experience. It’s about play, presence, and giving yourself permission to explore. Paint parties make creativity feel accessible and fun—laughter flows, stories are shared, and each person walks away with something uniquely their own. At Cosmic Spark Designs, I host paint parties with soul and intention. These events are thoughtfully guided and rooted in connection. I bring vibrant color palettes, calming energy, and my signature swipe techniques to every gathering, creating an environment where imagination can thrive. Whether it's an intimate gathering with friends, a lively community festival, or a special event, each paint party is crafted to awaken inspiration and encourage self-expression. It’s not just about the art—it’s about the experience. It’s about creating memories, building community, and honoring the beauty in the process. If you’re looking to bring that spark of joy and soulful creativity into your space, I’d love to create that moment with you. Let’s paint something unforgettable together.
