Piece description from the artist
This artwork beautifully portrays the power of imagination and the comforting presence of friendship, even in times of sadness. A young boy, seeking escape from his troubles, embarks on an imaginary journey to the moon as an astronaut. His loyal stuffed animal companions follow him, offering their love and support through music. The artist skillfully uses a dreamlike atmosphere and soft colors to convey the boy's emotional journey. The scene is both touching and hopeful, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of companionship in overcoming challenges.
Malia Joy Wofford
Born and raised in Los Angeles County, Malia Joy’s artistic talent emerged early—and vividly. As a toddler, she famously used her mother's lipstick, blush, and foundation to paint murals on her walls and bedspreads. What began as scribbling in ALL of her books and her father’s Bible has evolved into a disciplined and joyful artistic practice; today, she continues to find inspiration in coloring her own Bible.
Malia’s formal training began at age 13, studying under a former Vogue designer before expanding her repertoire to oil and acrylic painting. Her work gained early recognition, appearing in local auctions, Borders Bookstores, and her handmade greeting cards in Old Town Pasadena boutiques before she even graduated high school.
Throughout her professional career, Malia has leveraged her freelance business to collaborate on projects for major brands, including Disney English, a Universal Music Project tied to a Netflix Original.
Most recently, her work has been installed at Boston Children’s Hospital, corporate buildings throughout Los Angeles, and in Albuquerque, New Mexico.With a lifetime of creativity behind her, Malia is now expanding into the home goods industry with a vision to become a household name in print and product design.
