Hey there! I’m Joy Hudson, an oil painter with a passion for capturing the vibrant essence of life and the subjects that inspire me. Growing up in South Africa, I turned to art as a form of expression, drawing from the rich and diverse culture that surrounded me. In 2010, I embarked on a new adventure, immigrating to Melbourne with my family.

My work focuses on illuminating the colours and emotions that make life extraordinary, celebrating the beauty and energy I see in both everyday objects and the expressive faces of people. I immerse myself in the details, using my brushes to bring them to life on canvas.

With 15 years of experience, I’m constantly exploring new techniques to push my creative boundaries. For me, art is more than just a hobby; it’s a way to share stories and connect with others. I believe my purpose in life is to bring joy to people through my art.

Feel free to reach out and explore my world of colours and emotions—I'd love to share my artistic journey with you!
