Currently based in 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 employs a small palette of high-quality watercolor paints, white gouache, and archival HP watercolor paper to bring her creations to life.
Although many wonder if she has been painting her whole life, Joy's artistic journey took a different path. Growing up in East Texas, she would often retreat to a nearby farm field to indulge in reading, writing, and drawing as a teenager. However, it wasn't until 2009 that she rediscovered her passion for art, initially focusing on graphite, charcoal, and carbon pencils before delving into the world of watercolor after experiencing two strokes in 2013.
Through online tutorials and classes, Joy honed her skills and developed a deep appreciation for watercolor painting, drawing inspiration from the wildlife and nature found in Tennessee's greenways and state parks. Her unique perspective and love for the outdoors shine through in each of her captivating pieces, making them perfect for home and office decor.
