Biography

Jessica Joy Myers has been working with glass since 2001. She was consumed by the medium immediately and found it to be a most expressive art form. The material itself, the glass, adds life to the design by working with light. Her artwork is full of colors and textures. There are many ways to view one panel, depending on the time of day and the angle of the light. As you will see in the gallery, there are several pictures of each piece to display this phenomenom. Jessica uses the traditional medium in a fresh, modern way. In Philadelphia, NY, Tucson, and other cities, there are many store fronts and residences where you will find her stained glass. You may also find Jessica Joy out with a display of her work at an art fair. When not working with the stained glass, she is usually involved with several other creative endeavors. Jessica regularly performs for events, clubs/shows.
