I’m Patricia Efunsade (pronounced EF-foon-shah-DAY)— The Joy Priestess — a self-taught mixed media paper artist, ordained minister, and sacred storyteller. My love affair with paper began in childhood in North Carolina, where I would sit at the kitchen table cutting scraps into treasures. I was captivated by the way something so ordinary could become something extraordinary. On Sundays, I watched my father, a preacher, fold and tear a single sheet of paper into powerful lessons of faith — an early reminder that paper could carry memory, story, and spirit.

Over time, paper became more than a pastime. It became a way of seeing the world. In 2019, after the heartbreaking loss of my sister Ayotola, I returned to paint, paper, and story — not only as art, but as prayer and healing. That sacred process gave birth to SaKredJoi Art — a studio and a calling where creativity and spirituality are woven together with intention, color, and resilience.

Here, you’ll find art that celebrates both the messy and the miraculous — greeting cards that speak truth with sass and grace, collages that feel like tiny altars, and paper offerings that remind you of your worth and wonder. Every piece is meticulously cut by hand and layered with color, culture, and spirit — what I call paper prayers.

I believe art is not just something to hang on the wall — it’s something to live with, to heal through, and to celebrate life’s sacred and ordinary moments. Whether it’s through a single handmade card or a circle of women gathered around scissors and glue, my mission is simple and bold: to scatter joy like confetti and remind us all that beauty and joy still belong to us. Always.

SaKredJoi Art is for the joy seekers, the story keepers, and the ones who know that art can heal what words cannot. I’m so glad you found your way here. Let’s make something beautiful together — one handmade piece, one sacred story, one burst of joy at a time.

SaKredJoi Art is a sacred creative studio dedicated to scattering joy, color, and healing through vibrant handmade paper art, soulful collages, and faith-rooted creative experiences. From greeting cards and mixed media prints to sacred storytelling workshops and women’s retreats, every offering is designed to stir the heart and honor the spirit.

At SaKredJoi Art, we believe paper holds memory, story, and spirit. In a world that can feel heavy, our mission is to create work that reconnects us to beauty, resilience, and joy. Each piece is meticulously cut by hand, layered with color and texture, and infused with words that carry hope and truth.

We see creativity as more than decoration—it is devotional. It is resistance, renewal, and rebirth. Every creation becomes an invitation: to pause, to breathe, to remember who you are, and to let color, story, and spirit meet you right where you are.
