I, Tiffany Joy, am a creative writer whether it is narrative or poetry I enjoy writing to express myself. Using the tag ‘creative’ you’ll find all my creative writings.
This is an older painting of mine that I painted in 2017. I was feeling lonely, so I went to my paints. You’ll notice that this painting has 5 blue flowers, 5 bees, and then 1 large red rose. The rose doesn’t have her bee though. It seemed like everyone was paired off except for me. That doesn’t mean that I won’t bloom and that doesn’t mean that the painting should be sad. It is a simple fact, which is why the background is so bright and cheerful.
My “Flowers and Hearts Portrait” painting started out as the actor Zachary Levi but then I got the nose wrong and the painting went a different direction. It was fun to paint and when I didn’t like how a few areas came out I just added some happy little flowers and hearts to make it a complete painting.
This painting is available on my etsy storealong with a few other acrylic paintings and a few digital drawings prints.
Also, On YouTube,I do have a playlist dedicated for sped up paintings. I also have a section on this site where I share my visual arts portfolio along with my painting portfolio.
Ice cream was a big part of my childhood and part of my adulthood for that matter. My family will get it on summer vacations and whenever I’m visiting I’ll go to the local Ice cream shop. When I was in middle school I would meet my friend there and get some ice cream before we went on some other adventure. I have a lot of wonderful memories around ice cream, so thought it would be wise to share my love in poem form.
Summer days with their warm breezes
brings to me sweet memories
of delicous, wonderful ice cream.
When the air is hot,
when the air is cold,
I partake in the loving treat.
The taste of sugary cream
reminds me of wonderful days
carefree and filled with love.
Whether bought on the side of the street
or made with love and our own hands
smiles would blossom and bloom.
Joy and happiness always will come around
When the smell of ice cream is in the air.

This was a fun painting to do. It started off as a pour painting and then I used how the paint came out to make a scene. The girl is dreaming of her dream guy that shares the painting with her.
Back in 2015, I wrote a monologue called “Artist” I then performed and recorded it. That video is posted on YouTube, but you can find it below also. Along with the orginial monologue.
Artist
I want to boldly tell you; I am an artist. I’m sure you already knew that or at least suspected. I mean how can anyone really hide their creativity? I know I’ve tried to hide or ignore my creative side, wanting to be normal. I yearned for a quiet mind that could simply observe the world and did not have a need to share its beauty.
Yes, there was a time I wanted to be normal, but not any more. An ordinary life in no life for me and if it seems like my life is just like yours ask me what I’m thinking about. For you see I have worlds and universes living in my head. My mind is filled with lands of poetry, worlds of paintings, and many stories in many different universes. They are all just waiting to be created.
When I am at my day job tapping the keys of my computer part of my mind may be trapping dragons to get to the keys of a prison to rescue some royalty. While I’m driving home I am most likely also involved in an elaborate love affair that will tragically end when I park my car. If I am watching the sunset I am also memorizing the colors in hopes that I could paint it one day.
You see my mind is not a quiet place most of the time, which now I love. It makes my life extraordinary in an ordinary world. This is why I must boldly tell you; I am an artist. I’m sure you already knew that or at least suspected.

Different Paths is a poem about how there are different options in life. Sometimes it is confusing and you may choose the wrong path but God can and will guide you.
Paths open.
They may wind away
or lead you home.
One may desire you to stay
while others push you to go.
Only a guide will truly know
what is right and what is true,
so trust the guide.
He will lead you safely home.
Pour paintings have been a trend that interests me. They are all so unique, so I did one. Of course, when I was done it didn’t look like something that I could call mine. I decided to add a border of pink and silver. That is what it needed.
What do you think of it? Let me know by commenting down below.

As you may know, I have a Redbubble and Threadless shop. These are 2 print on demand shops, where I post my digital drawings. Here are my 3 most recent digital drawings that I have for sale as prints.
This art piece was originally for my book “To Love.” I really love how the color and shading came out, so I thought I’d share it here with you.
Here is part of a hibiscus shrub with a few mute magenta flowers and leaves.
Here is a fun giraffe drawing that I made specifically to create a puzzle for my friend.
I hope you enjoyed checking out my most recent digital drawings. If you would like to check out more of my digital artwork I do have my portfolio up..
Pen To Paper is a poem about writing and the reasons that I write. Writing to me is an exploration and is about discovering things I didn’t realize before.
Pen to paper.
Paper to pen.
I will write
to see the ink flow
to find what's inside of me.
With random ramblings
I find treausres inside.
Whispered words of wisdom
never looked at before
never thought of in the past,
so I put
pen to paper.
Paper to pen
and I write.
My next book is coming out soon. It is my next poetry book and it’s called “Garden Of Poems.”
It should be out early in February as long as everything goes as planned so when I say coming soon I mean it. The proof is on its way to me and I should be able to give the okay on everything as soon as I review that.
“Garden Of Poems” is a 40 poem book of poetry from 2013 to late 2020. A lot are unpublished and the few that have been posted to my site have been heavily edited. I am so excited about this book. I cannot wait for you to read it.
