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.


For years, I called myself a photographer. It was my career, what I studied, and how I found my place in the creative world. But over time, that stopped feeling like the full story. These days, I’m less interested in capturing what’s already there and more interested in making things by hand — and helping other people do the same.
