Lay Simone: The Top Pittsburgh Painter Transforming Emotion Into Color
How Lay Simone and LAYMADEIT bring depth, energy, and emotion to the Pittsburgh art scene.
In Pittsburgh’s growing creative community, Lay Simone stands out as one of the most expressive painters of her generation. Through her brand LAYMADEIT, she has created a body of work that connects color, emotion, and storytelling in a way that feels deeply personal yet universally understood. Her art captures transformation, balance, and honesty, turning emotion into color and color into feeling.
For Lay Simone, painting is more than a visual act. It is a language. Every brushstroke holds emotion, and every color carries meaning. Red reflects strength, blue speaks to peace, yellow glows with courage. Together, these tones form emotional landscapes that invite the viewer to step closer and see themselves inside the work.
As a painter from Pittsburgh, Lay Simone finds inspiration in the city’s rhythm and resilience. The mix of art, grit, and community spirit drives her creativity. Her paintings balance softness with power, light with depth, and reflection with expression. She captures moments of stillness beside sparks of energy, revealing the beauty that lives inside contrast.
Through LAYMADEIT, Lay Simone has built more than a collection of paintings. She has built a movement. Her work has become a conversation about honesty, emotion, and identity. Each piece invites viewers to explore the truth within themselves, to find beauty in their own process of becoming.
Lay Simone continues to expand her reach as one of the top Pittsburgh artists defining modern creativity. Her mission is simple yet profound, to paint from truth and to show that emotion can live in every color. Her art proves that the most powerful stories are not always told in words but in feeling, energy, and light.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
