Gioie Gallery began in a garage-bedroom in Brisbane - an homage to Gioia del Colle (Joy of the Hill), a town in Puglia that Marco's grandparents left in search for a better life.

 

It is, as the name suggests, a gallery of joys.

 

Balancing on the seemingly opposing forces of suffering and hope, Gioie Gallery endeavors to reflect God's light in the dark and is an extending hand to those in need, giving back to communities through proceeds from each piece.

 

A material application of biblical passages such as; Romans 5:3-5, James 1:2-4, Isaiah 58:6-7

 

Count it all joy.
