About us

My name is Keirsa.  I hatch, create and produce original illustrations.

"Life is Hard" was born shortly after I started the Happily Adirondack illustrations.  We all know it, don't we?  Life IS hard, but no matter what, it all turns out OK.  It reminds me not to sweat the small stuff, and that I can and have survived the BIG stuff and have found the small gifts that the experiences leave behind.  Most importantly, sprinkle in as much laughter as possible along the way.

"Happily Adirondack" was born while on a hike with my husband.  I've always loved the outdoors and a good adventure (the fun kind, not the scary kind!), and I wanted to wear something that reflected that love for the Adirondacks.  So after three years of sketching, learning a little business speak, and figuring out all the "how-to's", voilà - Happily Adirondack came to life.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to create, inspire and connect.

"Life is Hard" is our way to acknowledge that life isn't always roses and lollipops, but we can still laugh and know that in the end, "everything's going to be OK".

We strive to create fun and happy compositions that will inspire and connect others to the outdoors.
