Art for people who
feel everything.
Abstract, whimsical, and psychologically expressive paintings that explore the parts of ourselves that don’t always have words.
Your walls are full.
But nothing on them
feels like you.
Most art is designed to match your sofa. To fill a gap. To look agreeable and disappear. If you've ever stood in a mass-market home store and felt nothing — or felt vaguely embarrassed that none of it reflected your actual inner life — you know the problem.
You deserve art that holds the weight of your real life — the difficult days and the absurd ones.
The 3am thoughts. The quiet grief. The inexplicable joy your cat brings you by fitting into something ridiculous. All of it belongs on your wall. All of it is worth painting.
Painted by someone who has spent a lifetime studying the human mind.
I'm Diantha Boardman — a self-taught painter with a Master's in Clinical Psychology. I spent years as a substance abuse counselor, sitting with people at their most raw, their most exhausted, their most real. I know what it costs someone to say "I'm fine" when they mean the opposite.
In 2020, I picked up a brush for the first time. Every career test I'd ever taken told me I should be doing something creative. Turns out, a pandemic was the nudge I needed. I haven't put the brush down since.
I paint the things I've spent a lifetime thinking about: the impossible complexity of being a person. The dark days. The weird joy. The moments that are too big for words — and fit just right inside a painting. Art, for me, is a way to help people (myself included) feel seen and less alone.
