Story

Joyace is home to original modern art at an accessible price–because wall art should be for everyone. Stephanie Manning-Soiza, the artist and creator behind Joyace, believes original handmade art has a place on every wall. Art makes you happy. Art makes a home. 

Creating from her home studio on Australia's east coast, Stephanie creates bold silhouettes with organic characteristics that are influenced by vast open spaces and everyday objects. The visual tension between the vast and the exact engages with our sense of body and mind. Vivid colours and hand pressed textures imbue each artwork with a timeless simplicity.  Every detail, line and curve is considered. 

Stephanie creates each artwork by hand with acrylic on premium paper, using mono printmaking techniques. The joy in each art piece comes from a place of curiosity: the distinctive layers of each artwork formed by specialised printing plates and the use of brayers, brushes and sponges. By embracing the imperfections that come with her unique process, each artwork is perfectly imperfect. The result is a visual delight.

‘Each artwork brings joy to me and I hope it adds a colourful pleasure to your space.’ 

– Stephanie
