Jayna Mistry is a self-taught contemporary fluid abstract artist based in Central Massachusetts and the visionary behind art(M)istry. Her work explores the harmony of color and movement, resulting in vibrant, flowing compositions that evoke tranquility, spontaneity, and emotional connection.
Inspired by nature’s rhythms and the beauty of everyday moments, Jayna uses an intuitive, experimental process to guide paint into organic forms that feel both bold and serene. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind journey — a blend of energy, emotion, and surrender — created to stir the soul and transform any space.
Jayna’s creative path began early, shaped by a curious spirit and a deep love for artistic expression. After exploring various mediums, she discovered fluid art in 2019 and was instantly captivated by its freedom and unpredictability. What began as a therapeutic outlet soon became a purpose.
After the sudden loss of her father and a health crisis with her husband, painting became her solace — a grounding force that brought peace during chaos. That year reshaped everything. It reminded her that life is too short not to pursue what moves you. With that clarity, Jayna began sharing her art with the world.
She debuted her first solo show, Expressions: Colors in Motion, in June 2024, followed by a feature in the Advancing Belonging Together exhibit at UMass Chan Medical School. Each collection she creates is a reflection of personal transformation — honoring both the light and the shadows of her journey.
Originally from the UK and raised in a traditional Indian family, Jayna infuses her art with the rich interplay of Eastern heritage and Western influences—a duality she continues to explore in future collections. After moving to the U.S. with her husband and two children, she navigated motherhood, creativity, and entrepreneurship before transitioning back to full-time work and later earning her Bachelor’s and MBA.
Her journey reflects a lifelong commitment to growth, healing, and connection — values instilled by her late father, whose spirit remains a quiet muse in her work.
Through art(M)istry, Jayna invites you to experience art that flows beyond the canvas — into your heart, your home, and your story.
Artist Statement
My art is a reflection of life’s rhythms — fluid, unpredictable, and deeply connected. I create intuitively, allowing paint to move freely across the canvas, capturing emotion through movement and harmony through color.
Inspired by nature and personal transformation, each piece explores spontaneity, balance, and presence. Through the layering and blending of color, I surrender control and embrace the unexpected, in a process that mirrors life itself.
Art became my sanctuary during a season of profound loss and healing. Today, it is a gift I offer to others, an invitation to pause, reflect, and find a moment of calm in a chaotic world. Whether placed in a home, office, or healing space, my work is created to bring beauty, meaning, and emotional resonance into the spaces we live and work in.
