Joy Creates Glass Sculpture

This week's featured artist is Joy Alyssa Day of GlassSculptureOrg. Joy and her partner work from Carmel Valley, California. Not only does Joy create amazing art, but she also has an amazing story.

Rose Nebulae Glass Tile Pendant

Joy was in her junior year at Purdue headed for a career in Computer Science, designing computer systems for spacecraft when she began to understand that she would find her true calling and happy life in art. Joy made a drastic change to her program from Computer Science to Theater-Costume Design and has never looked back. She is a professional artist and loves it. GlassSculptureOrg reveals her passion for what she creates and we can still see an element of her interest in space as well. Her pieces find a range of venues from jewelry like this pendant
