Creativity has many forms. For some, it comes alive on a canvas through vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes. For others, it takes shape through words that inspire, comfort, and encourage. Michigan based artist Kristal Baith has successfully brought these worlds together with the publication of her debut Child Illustrated Consciousness (CIC) book, I Throw Paint Around, published by One God Publishing.
Already recognized for her emotionally driven artwork, Kristal is now adding “published children’s author” to her growing list of accomplishments, proving that storytelling can extend far beyond traditional paintings.
Kristal Baith’s artistic philosophy is both deeply personal and refreshingly authentic. She describes her work as existing “between chaos and clarity,” where emotion takes shape through movement, texture, and instinct. Rather than striving for perfection, she focuses on honesty, believing that every creative piece should reflect genuine human experience.
Her paintings are known for their raw emotion and layered meaning. Many even include handwritten messages hidden on the back, allowing viewers to discover a story that goes beyond what first meets the eye. It is this same thoughtful approach that naturally transitions into her work as a children’s author.
Her new CIC book, I Throw Paint Around, introduces young readers to meaningful life lessons through engaging storytelling and imaginative illustrations. Like every title in the growing CIC collection, the book is designed not only to entertain children but also to encourage conversations about emotions, choices, personal growth, and character development. It represents the belief that children’s literature can become a powerful tool for shaping values that last a lifetime.

The result is a book that reflects the same authenticity found throughout her artwork while introducing children to valuable life lessons in an engaging and accessible format.
