Each month, our feature wall in Studio 114 is transformed by a different local artist. This month, the opening party for Le Mur Bleu aligns with the Fall Art Crawl and Second Saturday, making it the perfect time to immerse yourself in bold color, pattern, and creative reuse.

Please welcome Artifacts of Joy, an artist whose work celebrates vibrant color, sustainability, and the pure delight of creative play: Vibrantly painted modern artifacts bringing joy to your heart and home.

“Painting is my passion. I find unique surfaces to paint my signature colors and patterns on. I source secondhand materials to keep my work fresh and exciting and the available pieces continuously rotating.”

True to their name, Artifacts of Joy transforms everyday objects into expressive bursts of color and pattern. By repurposing secondhand materials, the artist brings new life to forgotten surfaces. Each piece becoming a one-of-a-kind artifact, infused with joy, texture, and storytelling. The work is lively, constantly evolving, and deeply rooted in the idea that beauty and inspiration can be found anywhere.

What to Expect: Bold, colorful paintings on unique surfaces // A rotating collection of work; no two visits are the same // A joyful, sustainable approach to art-making //Meet the artist during Fall Art Crawl & Second Saturday
