The Language of the Body
The body has always spoken louder than my mouth ever could. It carries truth in silence. It holds memory in motion. Every curve, every line, every shade is a sentence I did not need to write.

A story told in symbols
I painted this piece in a moment when words could not keep up with what I felt. I needed movement. I needed color. I needed a way to talk without explaining. So I used symbols.

Energy Never Lies
Energy has always been my first language. Before words. Before art. I could feel what was real and what was not. You can lie with your mouth but never with your motion. That is where this piece came from.

The Zodiac Collection
I have always felt things deeply. Energy. Movement. The quiet pulse in a room when someone walks in. The moon. The way creation feels like it already knows what it wants to be.

Learning to Move at My Own Pace
For most of my life I thought I had to hurry. Success felt like a race that everyone else was already winning. I would wake up with pressure in my chest, comparing myself to people who were never walking my path to begin with. It took years to learn that peace and progress can exist in the same space.

Where Color Meets Faith
There is a calm that settles in before I start to paint. The room gets quiet, and I let the colors do the talking. In that stillness, LayMadeIt becomes more than a name again. It becomes the space where I remember who I am and what I am still reaching for.

What Art Taught Me About Starting Over
I am Lay Simone, and everything I make comes from the middle of what I live. LayMadeIt began as survival, not strategy. I was just trying to make sense of things, to turn what hurt into something that could stand on its own.

The Day I Finally Started
I reached a point where I couldn’t keep saying “one day.” I was tired of my own potential sitting in notebooks and voice notes. I wanted more than ideas. I wanted movement.

Who Is Lay Simone
When people ask who I am I never know where to start. I am not one thing. I am art and I am story. I am a mother who dreams in color. I am the founder of thelaysimone.com a space built for creation connection and legacy.
