The Painted Balloon

04/08/2026

Like the beauty that was the breaking down of balloons after covering the side of 12th Ave South — A WORK OF ART!!!

Recently turned 33. Kinda obsessed with it so far. It’s been a hot fourteen days. Much creativity, much busting of the trauma bonds, muuuuuuuch healing. Most of all: PAINTING. Very proud of the almost 100 paintings I’ve done in these two weeks.

It’s wild. I’m going to launch en masse soon, so please keep your eyes open for more information on Fionaflaherty.com 📡 thepaintedballoon.com had trouble navigating the web hosting move. Will get that sorted eventually.

WANNA WORK TOGETHER?! You can still reach out for balloon installations and hand lettered calligraphy balloons through my email [email protected]

Maybe balloons are how you know me, but things look different lately. Blame it on the paintin’ baby! im over here on my main account painting my b***y off on a surface that isn’t latex or helium filled……….

It’s paper. I’m painting on paper.

IN THE STUDIO THIS WEEKEND! Biggest balloon gig since I left Vroom Vroom Balloon, so 5 years. I left that position of ownership and “success” because I was run into the ground. I left because I wanted work-life balance. Now, I work slowly, only a few jobs at a time. Balloons support my career as an artist, which helps me keep the memories of trauma at bay. I know how to say no, ditched the psycho biz partner and found creative joy that’s wholly mine. Painting is therapy. I am an artist :)

I’m really excited (and kinda nervous- but I know I’ve got this!!) for my big balloon job. It’s corporate. It’s cute. It’s Monday!! My assistant is really slacking, though… Pretzel was a little obsessed with the rotary cutter to the point I feared he’d lose a whisker 🫣

Cheers to five years of recovery, healing and rebuilding!

Calligraphy on a giant balloon (or even a small one!) is simply the best 🥰
