Based out of Tennessee, Joy Neasley is a talented wildlife and nature artist who specializes in capturing the beauty of Tennessee's natural landscapes. With a preference for painting outdoors in natural sunlight, Joy uses a small palette of quality watercolor paints, white gouache, and archival HP watercolor paper to bring her creations to life.
Although not a lifelong artist, Joy's passion for drawing dates back to her teenage years in East Texas, where she would often escape to a nearby farm field to sketch and create. After putting her art on hold to focus on motherhood and family, Joy rediscovered her love for drawing in 2009, following a health scare that prompted her to explore new forms of expression.
After experiencing two strokes in the summer of 2013, Joy's doctor recommended she take up a new hobby as part of her rehabilitation. This led her to explore the world of watercolor painting through online tutorials and classes, ultimately igniting a newfound passion for capturing the wildlife and nature she encounters on Tennessee's greenways and trails.
Drawing inspiration from the abundance of natural beauty found in Tennessee's state parks and trails, Joy's artwork reflects her deep connection to the outdoors and her dedication to preserving the environment through her art. Her stunning watercolor paintings are the perfect addition to any home or office decor, offering a glimpse into the serene beauty of the natural world.
