48" x 36" acrylic on gallery wrapped-canvas
 

Sometimes joy doesn’t shout—it pulses, glows, and unfolds across the canvas like music you didn’t realize you needed.

 

Painted at the request of a local Tampa gallery, Joy to the World emerged in a season of quiet creativity, where color led the way. Layers of warm reds, earthy browns, and luminous golds speak to resilience, celebration, and the beauty of shared light. While this piece began as an invitation to simply “create more,” it evolved into something deeper—a reminder that joy, once noticed, tends to spread.
