There's no easy way to say this- our culture is obsessed with consuming. I mean, I am selling my artwork here... this is a shop. But what exactly do we consume the most? Single use items. And a lot of them.

 

So naturally, one day, deep in pandemic blues, I thought to myself  "Why not give a second, much longer life to something that has a 73% chance of ending up in a landfill?" Thus, the Painted Planet was born. Combining two of my deep loves, painting and the planet, The Painted Planet has continued to grow and evolve to include more items ready for new forever homes. My hope  is that I inspire you to not only support an independent artist, but also to upcycle items in your own life!
