Sea of Possibilites Painting

New York born and raised American artist Elissa Joy transforms the discoveries of mind, body, and soul into layers of visual exploration. Her life’s journey flows through her art into multiple levels of self-reflection based on personal experiences and global events. Painting, drawing, photography, and digital graphics drives her to continue creating her own artworks. Capturing the essence of her visions Elissa Joy manipulates color and form with a variety of mixed media. Her strength and conviction to grow is evident by the intensity of the links bridging thoughts, feelings, and visions, between her inner and outer worlds. Her pieces vary from profound statements of self and society to visual experiences of time and place. Elissa Joy opens her heart and soul and invites the viewer to courageously witness the visual representation of her thoughts and feelings, a life that is as wonderfully calm as it is chaotic. Vivid colors lunge at the viewer intentionally arousing the senses. Subject matter shifts from figurative to imaginative elements in a constant chase of personal truth. Her pieces activate the observer to possibly engage in self exploration, a push to find the answers within themselves or to simply enjoy what lies in front of them. Flowing from playful organic to solid geometric shapes, Elissa Joy’s work continues to engage the viewer to take note with what resonates within themselves. The audience breathes in a sense of love for life and leaves with an understanding of an important pursuit: listen to your own heart and soul for what inspires you most.
