About me and my art.

Hi,
My name is Sparkle Joy Arroyo. Most of my friends call me Joy and I hope that each of you will feel free to do so. I am working on my final year of my Bachlor of Arts in studio with a focus on ceramics. I love to paint, draw, and for the last 31 years I have worked in textiles. I crochet, knit, sew, emborder, and do just about any kind of art that keeps my hands busy and my mind working toward new goals. Also I am a results driven type of artist finding that my best work comes when I set a goal and strive to reach it. This quarter will find my time split between work, sculpture, color photography and taking care of my husband and animals. Of which I have 3 dogs, two pug/pomeranian mixes Diesel and Lulu and one weiner dog Madeline. We also have 3 cats Trouble who is a Manx mix and lives up to  his name along with two kittens as of yet un-named a calico female and black and white male.
So far my favorite artists have been fellow students. I would recommend if you get the chance to check out the work that is going on right beside you. We have great graduate students and professional teachers. Overall I am looking forward to this class I love history and art so this should be fun. Can't wait to meet you all.
Joy
