The artist behind the marmot

Hi, I'm PJ!

After retiring from my consulting practice in 2010, I turned my painting hobby into a full-time passion.

Following a four-year hiatus to train for an Ironman, I returned to the studio in 2026 craving a fresh creative spark—which led me to whimsical watercolors and handcrafted stained glass.

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 have fun and play.

Thank you for visiting my site!
