Joy Is My Rebellion |
Abstract Canvas Wall Art Collection – Nicole McNamara
Art that radiates defiance.
Joy as resistance, color as revolution.
This collection is for the ones who have been told to “be realistic,” “tone it down,” or “stop being so optimistic” — and decided to laugh, dance, and love louder instead. "Joy Is My Rebellion" is a defiant celebration of choosing happiness in a world that profits from your self-doubt.
Each piece bursts with unapologetic color and movement, reminding you that joy isn’t a luxury — it’s a radical act of self-preservation. Painted in oil, every canvas hums with layers of freedom, delight, and the courage to take up emotional space.
Hang one in your home as your daily reminder: you’re not here to simply survive. You’re here to live — and joy is your loudest yes.

“This collection is my refusal to shrink — a celebration of choosing joy as an act of defiance, and painting it loud enough that the world has to listen.”
- Nicole McNamara
