Joy is an experienced mosaic artist and tutor who enjoys working within the community to share her skills with others to bring about positive change. She is inspired by people's stories and the laying down of heritage, as well as the by the materials themselves and the natural world. She started learning mosaic in Greece in 2006, then at the Southbank Mosaics studio in London (now the London School of Mosaic), and then established practice in Feltham, West London where she offered courses to adults and worked within the community delivering a range of craft and art based projects including mosaic. In July 2017 Joy moved to Scarborough North Yorkshire where she has a new studio dedicated to mosaic and continues her work.
