KSU’s Alumni Art Show
by Joie on Jul.18, 2010, under Studio
I’m pleased to announce that my piece Autumn Ballerina (pictured at left) has been accepted into the Kennesaw State University 7th Biennial Visual Arts Alumni Exhibition. This will be my first year participating in an Alumni show for KSU since I graduated in 2008, and I’m very excited to have this opportunity! I regret to say that I won’t be present at the opening reception as I’ll be on the other side of the country, but nevertheless I’m sure it’ll be a great show and a great reception!
KSU Alumni Art Show
Opening reception: October 7th 5 PM – 8 PM in the KSU Fine Arts Gallery (Free admission)
Show dates: October 7th thru November 11, 2010.
Graduate School

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been accepted into a Master’s Program of Illustration at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California! I intend to finish their MFA program and hopefully complete some internships to help me further my career. It is an exciting thing to finally break free of the world of The Dayjob and have a fresh start on something new. I just completed my second day of classes, and am excited to be back in the world of academia.
This of course also gives me a bit more free time to work on artwork, which is great because I’ve got a new commission, and a possible chance at illustrating some children’s books.
I’m also in the midst of printing new business cards, and some bookmarks of my art to have a new offering in my Etsy.com store. I also think it may be time for a nice facelift for Joieart.net. New era, new design! I hope to have some new artwork very soon!

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be in an art show and expo next starting TOMORROW right here in Atlanta! I will have prints of my art available for purchase, as well as some originals for sale and viewing. There’s a good chance I’ll have my worktable set up as well, so if you come you can see me painting and drawing in action!
I’ve got TWO new prints up for sale, Autumn Ballerina and Hipp-po-po Toe. Hipp-po-po Toe has JUST been released tonight and is the newest piece of art I’ve done! I’d love for you to come see it in person.

March of Dimes Auction!
by Joie on Apr.10, 2010, under Uncategorized
I wanted to take a moment and talk about one of my favorite yearly causes– the March of Dimes! I love taking part in raising money to help out babies; I’ve been walking in the MoD for years now. I started participating when I worked at a local grocery store in high school, and have been ever since. I am walking again this year with my employer’s team, but I also am donating a poster-sized print of Redneck Pigs to an auction where all proceeds go straight to the March of Dimes. Let’s hope that it wins tons of money for those babies!
If you’re interested and want to know more information, please visit March of Dimes to find a location to walk in your area or to make a donation!
Edit: I managed to raise $175 in just under 48 hours for the cause! Thanks everyone!
