About

“My work largely explores landscapes—real and imagined—through color, motion, and intuition. Some pieces are abstracted reflections of places I love. Others are pure expressions of movement and feeling."

Originally from Massachusetts, Joy returns often to the textures and colors of New England’s forests, coastlines, and changing skies - the environmental elements that shaped her early sense of place and home. 

In the studio, Joy’s approach is energetic and intuitive. She works mainly in acrylics, oil pastels, and various mixed media, often layering expressive lines and gestural marks to create a sense of movement and emotion. Her works evolve through careful attention to spatial rhythm and visual tension.

Joy lives in the Southeast, and when she isn't painting in her home studio, she's most likely teaching art to elementary kiddos, enjoying time with family, or relaxing with her two beloved cats. Her artwork is available through her online shop.
