Small but mighty, 'HEY ACTUALLY... I'M PRETTY BRAVE!' carries the strength you had in you on all the hard days where you showed up anyway. It’s here to remind you of something you might forget sometimes: you're here, choosing to show up day in, day out. And that’s something to be proud of.

This painting is about what it means to keep going when life throws more at you than it ever should. I made it while reflecting on everything I’ve lived through the past years — the daily pain of endometriosis and adenomyosis, emergency room visits, three surgeries, IVF, countless medical procedures, medical gaslighting, the exhaustion of having to explain, justify, advocate. And still... I show up. I keep showing up.

This piece holds that truth: that just getting through the day can be an act of courage. That strength isn't always seen — sometimes it's just quietly putting one foot in front of the other.

I hope this painting reminds you that showing up is brave. That doing your best, even when it feels like the world doesn’t get it, is brave. And that you deserve to pause for a moment, breathe it in, and let yourself feel proud. 

An original mixed media painting, 20 x 20 cm canvas, 24 x 24 cm framed, acrylic paint, oil pastels, watercolor pencil. This piece comes framed in a wooden floater frame and is ready to hang.
The painting has been built, layer by layer, mark by mark, until a beautifully, balanced work of art emerged – deep and complex.

Payment plans are available. Please contact me if you wish to set up a plan together. 

Thank you for supporting my work. Creating this art and sharing it with collectors around the world is a deep honor.

  • Shipping

    All original artwork is shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity and then wrapped in multiple layers of acid-free packaging, padded and shipped in a well-fitting sturdy cardboard box or flat mailer. 

    All art prints are wrapped in protective packaging and shipped in a well-fitting sturdy tube or mailer.

    The majority of artwork will be shipped via PostNL. Most domestic packages arrive within 3-5 business days from the time of shipment. 

    All shipments include tracking and you can choose to have it shipped with insurance. I ALWAYS recommend shipping with insurance, because sometimes life happens!

    I love shipping art globally! Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on package weight and distance. Large paintings that are shipped internationally may have to be unstretched and shipped in a tube due to a) safety reasons and b) shipping companies' regulations regarding the maximum size of a package. You can get your painting restretched of course and I'm happy to advise you on that!

    International buyers, please note that border fees, handling fees, etc. may be charged based on the destination country. Please contact me via the contact form on the website or email me at BethanyKristineArt@Gmail.com with questions or to receive a shipping estimate. 

  • Returns

    Every order, commission and sale is handled with care and as much clarity and transparency as possible. My goal is for you to be delighted with your purchase! I typically try to stay in contact throughout the process of shipping and handling in order to maintain full transparency and ensure you are completely informed along the way.

    Please take time to read descriptions carefully and to check the colors on multiple screens if you are concerned about color variations. I try my best to represent the colors, textures and tones in my work clearly and realistically.

    All sales are final. But of course, sometimes life happens. Please email BethanyKristineArt@Gmail.com if there is an issue with your artwork.

    If you are concerned about your package getting lost or damaged during delivery you can choose to have it shipped with insurance (I do recommend this. Especially with original paintings and/ or international shipments).

    I am not liable for any mishandling or failed delivery by the shipping service and I am not liable for any damage incurred post-delivery. I take great care to package each order safely in sturdy materials with ample support and notice that the package should be handled with care.

Art for your home, Love for yourself

Each painting maps out a journey of discovery. Through shapes and colors I reimagine ways in which we can support ourselves into greater self-connection, emotional intelligence, and joy.
