An invitation to choose joy with openness and ease.

“Open, reaching, falling into my joy.
My life’s quest, to live a joy filled life.
Living to remain open to the yes, to the light, choosing easy joy.
Fall into your joy.”
MS Burt

Fall Into Your Joy

This mixed media painting reflects a conscious return to joy as a way of living.

Joy here is not accidental or fleeting. It is chosen. Claimed. Practiced through openness, trust, and the willingness to reach forward without resistance. The figure embodies this surrender, allowing joy to meet her rather than chasing it.

Created with layered materials, including dancer pages and hand made papers, the surface holds movement, texture, and intention. Marks remain visible, honoring both the journey and the lightness that follows it.

This 12 x 36 x 1.5 mixed media painting is finished on all sides and ready to hang. A vertical work designed to bring lift, warmth, and a sense of openness into the space it inhabits.

A piece for collectors drawn to art that reflects choice, ease, and the courage to live joyfully.

Colors may vary slightly due to different computer monitors.
