Turning Healing into Art: The Woman Who Paints Courage on Tiny Helmets 🎨👶💖

Every superhero wears a helmet — and for some babies, that’s truer than ever. ✨

Meet Paula Strawn, an artist with a heart as bright as her paintbrush. When she first learned that some babies must wear cranial helmets to correct medical conditions like flat head syndrome, she noticed something — while these helmets help shape little heads, they often drew stares and questions from others. Instead of pity, Paula wanted people to see joy, courage, and creativity. So she decided to turn those medical helmets into masterpieces. 🎨💫

From adorable aviator caps ✈️ and floral crowns 🌸 to tiny sports helmets and whimsical animals 🐻, Paula paints each design by hand — transforming something clinical into something beautiful. Parents say their children no longer get sympathetic looks, but smiles, compliments, and laughter instead. The helmets become not just tools for healing — but symbols of strength and individuality. 🌈

Each brushstroke carries love. Each color says, “You are brave. You are beautiful. You are special.” 💖

Paula’s mission reminds the world that even in hospitals and therapy sessions, art can be a light that heals — not just the body, but the soul. Because sometimes, a splash of paint is all it takes to turn a medical device into a crown of courage. 👑✨
