My name is Joy Wallace, and I specialize in creating heartfelt, custom portraits that capture the essence of special people, beloved pets, and cherished places.

Art has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve explored various forms of art and crafts through the years. Although I have painted many things, I always seem to come back to portraits. Even as a child, I was fascinated by faces. Whether it’s the twinkle in someone’s eyes, the playful spirit of a pet, or the serenity of a favorite place, my goal is to evoke emotion and special memories in every piece.

Each of my portraits is a unique, personalized experience—one that tells a story and preserves a moment in time. I love to create artwork that connects deeply with my clients, whether it’s a portrait of a loved one, a furry friend, or a meaningful landscape or building.

I live with my husband and lots of animals on a farm in Norwood, NC.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope my work connects with you in a meaningful way. If you’re interested in commissioning a custom piece, feel free to reach out—I’d love to work with you to create something special!
