hi Im Alyson joy Record aka “Ajoy”
i am a full time painter in Nashville, TN. however, Im not all too sure how I found my home here in music city but i am beyond grateful i did.
in my early years living here I got to sample many unique painting opportunities. i got to scale walls and illustrate for corporate contracts. all while traversing the United states on tour busses with some amazing artists, there i learned quickly creativity is a universal language.
i became obsessed with people’s stories and the quiet in between moments of life. the big moments are easy to praise and awe, but the slow days leading up are where i see the true beauty.
it’s been a practice myself to praise and enjoy the slow in the in between, but it may be where i found my favorite art series to date. gardens.
i love the garden, i love the chaos and the methodical merged into one. i love the gardener that carefully plans and intervenes as well as releases to allow things to grow wild and free.
Let’s paint the stillness and wonder of life’s garden’s together.
Isaiah 58:11
“The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”
“I never wanted to be a ‘fine’ artist I’ve always wanted to be a fun artist”
