Our Story
Mr. Happy Bird—the cheerful little bird you see today—is a faithful adaptation of our founding artist Rita’s original paintings. Rita, my mother, was a dedicated glass artist best known for her vibrant dichroic glass jewelry and whimsical wind chimes. She even created a special line of Día de los Muertos–inspired pieces, which she sold in shops near her local university.

In 2020, after nearly 50 years away from painting, Rita picked up her brushes once again. Through a series of joyful and expressive artworks, she found a renewed way to share her creativity—painting until she was no longer able to continue. Mr. Happy Bird! and the collection that followed brought her comfort and joy, gracing her walls until her final days in April 2025.

At Mr. Happy Bird!, we carry forward the beauty and inspiration that these paintings gave Rita. We honor her legacy by sharing her joyful spirit and raising awareness about Alzheimer’s. Her creativity and light live on in every brushstroke—a tribute to her enduring spirit and a reminder that even in life’s hardest seasons, joy and beauty can still take flight.

This journey is deeply personal. The photo you see—my son and I holding  sweet Rita's hand and captures the heart of Mr. Happy Bird. Until her last breath, my mother created. Even when words faded, she traced buttons and measured imaginary walls with her finger—expressing beauty in the only ways she could.

Mr. Happy Bird is more than art; it’s our way of honoring her spirit and supporting those affected by Alzheimer’s. Our purpose is to raise awareness, support research, and inspire others to live with joy, simplicity, and intention—qualities that may help protect the mind and soul. Through creativity and community, we carry forward a message of hope: that love, memory, and joy can endure, even when so much else is lost.

We are currently working on developing a product where a portion of sales will be donated to Alzheimers in honor of Rita.
