the visionary of this canvas

During the pandemic I was painting a mural in my basement when I received news that filled me with rage. I had just painted all the walls in the basement white and I hurled a can of paint across the room. 

Splash! I hurled another one! 

Splash. Sweet release it felt so good!!!!  

So then my middle school child was experiencing angst encountering her first break up as well as some bigotry and her emotions were overwhelming. She was big sad mad! She said, "Mom I wish I could smash things". 

To the basement we went again to physically express all of that internal lament before she imploded. 

My son is on the Autism Spectrum. AuDHD, SPD, PDA.

Sensory input really helps with his regulation so I brought him downstairs to play in paint too.

I soon learned that adults love to get messy too! Out of my home and into Pitman, The PaintGround was born.  My hope is to bring the same stress release to you get ready to get messy and do art!  We offer an inclusive and accessible art experience for all!  - BRANDIE
