Our story

Color, community, and a little bit of courage

Colorful Living began with a simple observation: the best moments in a senior community happen when residents are making something together.

We watched paint-and-sip nights light up rooms full of adults who swore they "weren't artistic." We saw how a finished ceramic vase became a story told to every visiting grandchild. And we decided senior living communities deserved that same spark — delivered professionally, reliably, and joyfully, right to their activity room.

Today, Colorful Living LLC provides subscription-based ceramic painting programs to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living communities across the Merrimack Valley and southern New Hampshire.

Denise Chesky

Denise is the heart of every Colorful Living session. A lifelong artist and the creative force behind Designs by Denise, she has a gift for meeting people exactly where they are — steadying a hesitant first brushstroke, celebrating a bold color choice, and making sure nobody leaves without a piece they're proud of.

Her signature colorful daisy isn't just our logo. It's her philosophy: every petal different, every one bright, all of them better together.
