Announcement
Welcome to Lighthearted Dreamer, where I've been painting Happy, on Etsy since 2011. Happy Holidays, everyone!
My shop is filled with my fun, whimsical, and colorful creations. So there's plenty of art for your home and heart!
My animal and floral artwork are born from those wonderful daydreaming moments of creativity, and my strong appreciation of life's beauty. I offer my cheerful creations as watercolor prints on fine art paper, in notecard sets, and as small original paintings.
All of my floral and animal art prints are created on high quality fine art watercolor paper with archival inks. And since I also do my own printing, I ensure that my prints have the look and feel of my original paintings! If you'd like an art print in a size that's not mentioned in the picture listing, please contact me, and I'll try my best to accommodate you.
My original watercolor paintings are created on 100% cotton paper with quality watercolor paints, and water soluble crayons (where mentioned). My acrylic and gauche paintings are created on archival boards & cotton canvas. Please see individual listings for complete details.
To facilitate purchases, I've begun listing some of my work as affordable digital downloads! If you see a picture of mine that you'd like to purchase digitally that isn't listed as such, or you're interested in a size that isn't mentioned, please let me know. I'd be happy to set up the listing for you, at no additional cost.
You can also find digital downloads of my sparkling nature photography, in my Etsy photography shop at

Sending a gift? Please let me know! I'll gladly include a gift card, with your special message, at no extra cost.
♥♥♥ I take tremendous pride in my work! All of my artwork is guaranteed 100%. If you're not completely satisfied, please contact me for a full refund♥♥♥
Thank you so much for your interest in my work! And, to all of my loyal customers, many thanks for your continued support! It is truly appreciated!
♥ Deb

5 out of 5 starsI love the print that I purchased. It looks beautiful framed. The bonus notecard that was enclosed is also worthy of framing. I highly recommend this seller.
About LightheartedDreamer
Expressing My Appreciation with Colorful Emotion
I’m a self-taught artist, inspired by natural beauty and the sweetness in the world that we sometimes overlook.
My work reflects my love and appreciation of animals and natural beauty of all kinds. My passion for painting was born from a desire to capture not just the beauty of what I see, but the emotions of how I feel in beauty's presence. Many of my paintings are based on my original photographs. I paint in an impressionistic fashion, using a variety of media including pastel, watercolor and acrylics.
My artistic journey began with photography which continues to be a source of inspiration for me. It helps me look at the world a little differently by filtering out every day distractions, and allowing me to find life’s hidden treasures. I find that some times the best photos can be taken on what seems to be the worst of days, as you observe things more closely, and reveal what might not be too obvious through a grey sky or clouds tears.
I’m particularly drawn to the vibrancy and looseness of pastel, and the unpredictability of watercolors, which allow me to express myself freely and spontaneously. So rather than trying too hard to control my expression, I can instead get lost in those lighthearted daydreaming moments of creativity, and appreciate wherever the beauty, emotion and inspiration take me.

I'm captivated by life's wonderful creations! Always easily distracted by animals and colorful flowers, it was only a matter of time before I'd feel compelled to express my love and appreciation of life's gifts through art.

Frequently asked questions
For international buyers, will customs taxes be collected when I receive my order?
For my international customers, please note that Import duties, and VAT taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping fees. These charges may be imposed and collected by your country, and are the buyer's responsibility to pay, on receipt of the order. I also cannot declare that a purchase is a gift on a customs form. This is a federal offense in the US and carries severe penalties.
Do you offer gift wrapping?
Although I don't offer gift wrapping, my prints are sandwiched between cardboard and wrapped in colorful tissue paper. I'd also be happy to include a notecard with your special message, at no additional cost. Just let me know the message you'd like included in "note to seller" at checkout.
Does Lighthearted Dreamer offer refunds or exchanges?
Customer satisfaction is my number one priority! If you're dissatisfied with your print or original artwork, please notify me as soon as you receive your order. I'll make every attempt to ensure that you're happy with your purchase. For a refund of original paintings, the artwork must be returned to me. Your refund will be issued when I receive the painting.
Due to the nature of digital downloads, I'm unable to offer refunds or exchanges for these purchases.
Please note that prints cannot be exchanged, as I would never re-issue a print to another customer. But in the unlikely event that your print is damaged in shipping, I will send you another print at my expense.
Will the colors on the screen be exactly the same as in my print or painting?
While I try my best to accurately represent the true colors in my work, there will always be color variation from one screen to another. So the picture that you see, might be slightly different from the actual print or original painting.
