Happy Places 44 is a portable collection of joy — a series designed to be held, opened, explored, and experienced.
Each painting rests inside a custom black briefcase-style box, its lid lined with the full 44-piece color study chart. Beneath each linen surface is a repeating phrase: "The happiest place is right here, right now."
Every piece contains a unique F.O.L.P. (Figure Of Limited Predictability) — a controlled release of hand-mixed pigment from a shaped Color Wand. The paint spreads into an organic form shaped by viscosity, color order, and the physics of impact — a balance between intention and unpredictability.
Each artwork pairs its F.O.L.P. form with a handwritten happiness prompt: the things that make you happy, paradise found, your happiest childhood memory, and more.
Happy Places 44 functions as both a color study and an emotional archive — a system of visual cues meant to spark presence, memory, and gratitude.
