About the Artist

Kelli C Joy is a fine art painter whose work captures the deep emotional resonance of landscapes and the stories they hold. Known for her signature “Storyscape” style, Kelli’s paintings are more than visual depictions of a landscape they are narratives woven with memories, feelings, and meaning. Each brushstroke invites viewers into a moment suspended in time, a place where the land speaks and stories unfold.

Kelli’s journey into art began with a profound personal loss: the passing of her grandmother Joy, an immensely talented artist and a guiding light in Kelli’s life. Inspired to honor her grandmother’s legacy, Kelli picked up the brush and discovered her own voice through painting. What began as a tribute soon became a calling and why Kelli includes Joy in artist name.

Through her evocative Storyscapes, Kelli seeks to preserve and celebrate life’s moments, whether it’s a quiet shoreline, a windswept hill, or a familiar place made sacred by story. Her work is a heartfelt offering to those who, like her, find stories in the stillness of nature and beauty in remembering.
