Joy is a local autistic artist who has been featured at coffee shops, the Urban Growler Brewery & Farrell's Gym.
Her bachelor of fine art concentrated on design, so she took only one semester of realistic painting. It wasn't until she was diagnosed in her mid 30s with Autism did she realize she needed a creative outlet. Years went by until late 2023, she finally discovered her love for abstract art.
Joy's art reveals her love for vivid colors, movement, and texture. Her unique perspective, with how autism has wired her brain, translates into her specific artistic expression on the canvas.
