Here’s the deal: sometimes, happiness feels like a full-time job — like you’re juggling white baubles and bubbles, trying to keep that shiny, joyful mask from cracking.
"Ever-ending Appearance of Happiness" lays it all bare — the chaos behind the sparkle, the desperate hustle to keep up appearances when inside, things are a total mess.
That candy-colored kaleidoscope? It’s the social media highlight reel, the forced smiles, the “I’m fine” texts. But beneath it all? Melancholy bubbles up, seeping through cracks in the facade. And as time ticks on, keeping up that happy act feels less like joy and more like exhaustion.
This piece is for the woman who knows the difference between looking happy and feeling it — and who’s ready to stop pretending and start being real.
Each "Ever-ending Appearance of Happiness" print is made to order — a conscious rejection of mass production in favor of art that carries meaning. We don’t sit on inventory. We create your piece when you choose it. That’s why it ships within five business days — fresh, intentional, and yours alone.
“This painting feels like my own exhaustion after years of trying to look ‘fine.’ It’s raw, honest, and liberating.”
- Nicole McNamara

COLOR & COMPOSITION INSIGHT
The Mood This Palette Creates
Every shade in this piece is chosen with intention — to shift the energy of your space, spark emotion, and remind you of what’s possible every time you walk past it.
A cascade of white orbs stretches across shifting aqua blues, symbolizing the pressure of forced smiles and appearances. Beneath the surface, layers of candy-colored patterns flicker like social media reels — vibrant but artificial, masking the truth underneath. The overlapping grid adds tension, creating a sense of entrapment, while the fragmented colors peeking through represent authenticity struggling to surface. The result is both dazzling and suffocating — a visual echo of happiness worn thin.
