JOY is one of the most personal paintings I have ever created, born from a season of surrender and a deeper understanding of what it means to find true joy in Christ. What began as a vision in 2025 became a beautiful reflection of the way Jesus transforms our hearts when we surrender our own desires and trust in His goodness.
Through that surrender comes a peace that does not depend on our circumstances. A peace that remains even in the difficult moments. And from that peace comes a joy the world cannot give. JOY is a reminder that true and lasting joy is not something we have to create or chase. It is a gift found in Jesus, available to every heart willing to make room for Him.
