Hi, I'm Joy! 🎨🦜

​I’m a self-taught artist based in New Zealand. I love creating with watercolor, acrylic, oil, and mixed media—usually with my four cute cockatiels acting as my little studio supervisors!

​I started this channel to build a space for fellow creatives who might feel overwhelmed by the "perfection" we often see online. Having learned everything I know from the generous artists who shared their own paths, I’m passionate about paying that forward. My goal is to show that art doesn't have to be a chore or a complex production; it can be a simple, intentional part of your daily life.

​I’m here to share my experiments, my progress, and my "flock-approved" art habits. Whether you're a seasoned painter or just picking up a brush for the first time, I hope you’ll join me in making art easy, fun, and meaningful.
