My Story

Hi, I’m Kennith Maitland, and I’ve been painting for over forty years. My art has found homes all around the world, but for me, it’s much more than what you see on a canvas. It’s a part of who I am. Living with bipolar disorder, my most inspired pieces often emerge during manic episodes, where creativity surges uncontrollably. Painting is my therapy, my medicine, my way of channeling that energy into something meaningful. It brings me calm, helps me find balance, and keeps me grounded when the world feels chaotic.

Humor has always been my greatest ally. Life can be intense, but laughter lightens the load and keeps my feet on the ground. My art, much like my personality, is full of life, honesty, and connection. I rarely sleep, never run out of words, and pour every bit of myself into each piece I create. Through painting, I find not just relaxation, but a way to share pieces of myself with you. Thank you for taking the time to connect with my work—I’m so glad you’re here.
