I would  like to express my gratitude to Joy of Art Studio (downtown Southern Pines) for the amazing art learning experience it has provided to my daughter, Sophia. It is absolutely incredible to see her taking private lessons with Joy for almost 3 years now and ever since expanding greatly in her artistic abilities. It is a very welcoming place where you can learn any technique and medium your heart desires, and come up with just some of the most creative things imaginable! I truly appreciate Joy’s willingness to share her knowledge of art and improve the minds of those who attend her classes, all in a very fun, open setting. I highly recommend Joy of Art Studio to anyone, no matter the age or however much art experience you have. 
Joy is an outstanding teacher with a deep knowledge of and passion for art and creativity. My daughter and I have always enjoyed her classes, as her lessons are fun and engaging, and very varied. She is excellent at simultaneously challenging and encouraging her students, and she always has something positive and uplifting to say about her student’s work. Her enthusiasm, patience, and love of expression encourages all in her classes, regardless of age or level.
  I have had the privilege of taking classes at the Joy of Art studio for two years now. Joy is not only talented but also professional and friendly. I have no art background, but Joy has helped me to pull from within myself and to put it on canvas. I figured if she can do that for me, then why not have her help some of the  adults and children at the church ?! Joy has helped with some creative Christian Art at Emmanuel Episcopal Church and we look forward to her coming back yearly.
