About Me

Laina Joy has 20+ years of artistic experience as a self-taught artist. She has showcased pieces for the past decade in galleries and events in Chicago, Detroit, and New York City.

.

Her art is inspired by people in her life, social events, pop culture, as well as an admiration of the abstract. She uses bright colors and bold lines to draw attention to her subject, adding details that force the viewer to look closer through each layer on the canvas.

.

Laina Joy currently curate events in Chicago, hosting local artists and vendors within businesses or gallery settings. She currently resides in NWI.
