Art that makes you smile
Whimsical watercolors, cheerful holiday cards, and handcrafted stained glass, painted with humor, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart.
A little note from the studio…
Every Happy Marmot creation is infused with humor and curiosity. My mission is simple: to create art that makes you smile, brings color to your home, and reminds you that it’s ok to play.
Thank you for visiting my site!

every one a rescue
found at the shelter
The Rescue Crew
The best friends come with a story
Every animal I paint is a rescue: the scruffy mutt with one ear that won't stand up, the cat who picked her family instead of the other way around. No pedigree, just a whole lot of personality. Some of the most wonderful companions you'll ever meet are waiting at a shelter right now.
Each one is getting a name and a backstory. They're the stars of my holiday cards today, and someday soon, of their own storybooks.

10% of all sales go to the Pagosa Springs Humane Society, so every card, painting, and piece of glass helps real animals get the second chance my characters already have.
