ABOUT JOY

 Joy uses illustrative storytelling on the surfaces of her original  clay art.  Her muse is  the rich culture and heritage of life in New Orleans.  Her goal is to capture  character, color and soul to hold memories and create ah ha moments.  Joy lives in New Orleans because where else can you live in a turquoise house, play with clay to make your living and breath air with notes of saxophone, mockingbird and jasmine!
