Josephine Garland Artist

Josephine Garland is a contemporary mixed media artist based in Australia.

Joey focuses on colour and rhythm, inspired by the quiet beauty of everyday moments, movement, memory and emotion. Drawing on a lifetime of creative experience across multiple disciplines, her practice combines intuition, design sensibility and a deeply personal connection to the creative process. Through artistic expression, each piece reflects her curiosity, storytelling and a lifelong belief in the power of art to connect people and place.

Her process is a construction of layered colour, contemporary abstraction and references to everyday objects, memories and experiences. There is an energy within each composition that draws the viewer into a magical world of wonder, nostalgia and discovery. Bold palettes, playful forms and unexpected details invite closer inspection, revealing stories that unfold over time.

Working across painting, mixed media and digital processes, Joey creates artworks that celebrate joy, connection and the beauty found in ordinary moments. Her work encourages viewers to pause, reflect and bring their own experiences to the narrative, creating a personal connection between the artwork, the space it inhabits and the people who live with it.

"My friends call me JOEY and creativity has been a constant in my life. My journey started as a fashion designer and moved into graphic design. I am a creator, a teacher and a lover of art. My desire to create art has always been at the centre of my life – art is my passion."
