About

I’m Joy — a watercolor artist, artist by passion, drawn to fluid light, quiet moments, and the small stories hidden in everyday places. I paint lanes after rain, village mornings, windows lit at dusk, and the way shadow carries memory. My work balances quick sketches with layered washes and the willingness to let the paper shape the final mood.
