When a teacher asked artist Paula Strawn's for a paint job on Watch Baddies Vol. 4 Onlinea corrective helmet, Strawn's life was changed—along with the lives of countless of children who have used Strawn's talents to deck out their medical gear.
Since that day, Strawn, a painter from Kennewick, Washington, has built business dedicated to painting baby medical cranial helmets used to reshape their heads as they grow.

The teacher asked Strawn to paint the child's corrective helmet.
"Who says no to an elementary school teacher," she joked. "The orthotist she went to... asked if I wanted to do more, and [if] I would give him some flyers for his office."

By now, Strawn has created over 2,800 helmets.
"I used to keep track," she said, "But then it got too crazy."

They don't want others to look at their adored and cherished wonder of the world with pity...that is heart breaking," the artist said, "I think of the design process as therapy."
Helping parents and babies, this artist's business is one we can definitely get behind.
