About

Hi, I’m Denise Feehs — the artist behind The Strong Happy Artist.

I create nature-inspired art that brings peace and purpose into everyday spaces. My work is deeply influenced by God's natural wonders — from soft skies and quiet trees to the feeling of stillness after a storm.

I've loved art since I was 7 years old, but I began seriously pursuing it around 2019. Like many artists, my creative path hasn’t been a straight line. A couple years ago, I stepped away from the business side of things to heal from burnout and rebuild the relationships that mattered most. That pause gave me clarity. I learned how to say “no” to things that don’t align with my purpose — and “yes” to the kind of art that fills my soul and serves others.

Today, I paint with intention. I’m a mom and an artist learning to balance both roles with grace. My hope is that my artwork offers a sense of calm, connection, and hope — especially for women who are walking their own healing journeys.

Whether you're decorating your home, gifting a piece to a friend, or simply looking for something that reminds you to breathe… I hope you find beauty and peace here.

With gratitude,  
Denise Feehs
