Need a beautiful love story? Come and experience the work of Joy Redstone!
Often the focus of so many movies, books, and whispered confidences across coffee shop tables; we daydream about them, write about them, mourn their departure, and build our lives and our hopes around them. Love stories preoccupy us all and inspire us and we celebrate them in the visual arts. Does a love story start with the beloved or does it start within ourselves? Is it a moment of connection filled with presence? Is it the slow build of friendship, compromise and trust? Is it passion, devotion, loyalty?
For Joy, it began within myself with the hard work of loving myself despite what I have perceived as so many reasons to not do so. These pieces tell the story of the journey of self-love leading to the ability to love others more fully. The love stories in her life now allows her to feel safe, seen and heard. Within her love story, loss and heartbreak are welcomed, not outcast. Within her love story, she is inspired to lean into the truth of who she is. Within this love story, her art is celebrating and honoring their ability to heal and transform.
