Welcome to A Wandering Palette, where I share original artwork, studies, tutorials, and creative experiments from my studio. Some pieces become finished paintings, while others are simply part of the journey of learning, exploring, and creating.
If you're interested in collecting artwork, I offer commissioned pieces through my Etsy shop or directly through my website. Feel free to get in touch to discuss a custom project.

about me
I’m Joy. I’m an artist who learns by watching, trying, and getting it wrong often enough to learn something.
I started painting again in 2023 and share the process as it happens — no lessons, no formulas, just the work.
If you learn by watching instead of being told what to do, this place will make sense.
I’m not trying to settle into one medium or force myself to find an artistic style. Right now, I’m painting, experimenting with texture, tearing up watercolor paper, working small, dreaming bigger, and following one creative idea into the next. Social media may tell us to find a niche and stick with it, but art has never really worked that way. Learning to create is about experimenting, trying different mediums, making mistakes, and discovering what you actually enjoy. If you’re questioning what kind of artist you’re supposed to be, maybe the answer isn’t to choose yet. Maybe it’s to try more.
