About Us
"In the midst of winter, there was, within me, an invincible summer".
Hi, I’m Le, the creative behind Joy Infusion, and that is my favourite quote. Welcome to Joy Infusion, a creative space where colour, texture, and self-expression take centre stage. Based in Dunedin, New Zealand, we believe in the power of joyful art—because life is too short for boring walls!
After years in management, I found myself craving something more, something that sparked joy and creativity, That’s how Joy Infusion was born. This space isn’t just about selling art; it’s about embracing a more joyous and vibrant way of living and making creativity accessible to everyone. Right now, we offer original artworks, and made to order items for you and your home. Over time our collection will continue to grow, bringing even more colorful, inspiring pieces to your world.
Joy Infusion is also about giving back. Giving me back a sense of fun and optimism in this crazy old world. So we created our Give Back Collection and our Colour with Purpose range. 100% of profits from these items are donated to Dunedin based charities that work to end family violence and organisations supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent youth in Dunedin, causes deeply personal to me. As a neurospicy family I’m proud to share this journey with my son who works alongside me. Riley has amazing creative skills in drawing, patterns and new media and it's a joy to work with him. He's behind our TikTok and other social media spaces.
So, if you love colour, texture, and art that makes you feel something, you’re in the right place. Let’s fill the world with more joy, one artwork at a time!
Other things that bring me joy, in no particular order, are dogs, coffee (decaf please as I do not need extra energy), french toast, houseplants, florals, 70s wallpaper, the sea and 80s new age romantic music. I love interior design and art, yet I find'designer' pieces unaffordable and out of reach. So I have planted Joy Infusion firmly in the 'affordable' zone and we are proud to bring you art and more that will make your heart sing and face smile, without completely destroying your bank balance.
I would say I am self taught as a creative, but it's just not true. I read, I absorb, I take short courses and I devour content like a crazy person. I learn quick, get in, make mistakes and then do better kinda woman. I have a tendency to over share.
I have an opinion on nearly everything, hate bullies and will not tolerate energy sapping mean spirited folk in my life. I value kindness over personal gain, inclusion over privilege and tolerance for different voices. Except the voices that only seek to serve self and forget to be nice humans.
Enough from me. See what I mean with the over sharing ... I will leave you with my favourite quote of all time ... from Albert Camus, paraphrased for brevity ... "In the midst of winter, there was, within me, an invincible summer".
Farewell for now from the land of the long, white cloud. I invite you to infuse some joy into your life and follow along as we seek to rid the world of boring white walls. Cheers, Le xox
