throughout the month of February at the 14th Street Artist Community.
The talented artist is a resident of East St. Louis and a graduate of SIU-Edwardsville
with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts in studio and art therapy.
Her art quilts have been exhibited nationally and internationally. She also
co-authored the book "Quilt Designs and Poetry Rhymes''. "My art is more
than art quilts, it's an emotional journey filled with pleasant memories. I
enjoy the entire creative process of telling a story with the fabric. My ideas
come to me in my dreams and everyday existence. I know my creative ability is of divine
inspiration, because I dream art, I feel art, I get excited when I'm around art and
through my creations I reveal my internal world".

Joy Wade:
"I find my inspiration from the vivid memories, experiences and my curiosity in people. As a child, I was fascinated with the work of Romare Bearden and the early 20th century of art and music, the civil rights movements, all of it was such a seduction for a child growing up in the sixties. These things touched me deeply and as my talent grew, I found myself naturally drawn to the imagery with a tremendous challenge as I started to record them in the drawing of my childhood and later as a professional illustrator. I have had many group and solo exhibitions in the Midwest and my work has been published in national and independent magazines.
My pieces portray the good and the bad, happy or sad elements of life and sometimes , the complex subject matters of the persecution of races, religions and the minority groups that are tackled with the utmost of sensitivity. To communicate the message of tolerance and understanding is imperative in my pieces.
My new series of paintings for Impressions & Expressions is based on the playing off an instrument, making music that can open up unexpected realms of healing for the pain of the suffering soul and trigger the flow of joy and hope. By concentrating primarily on the form, this important challenge to capture its emotion through color, rhythms and improvisational spirit... a healing with ecstasy over adversity and joy over suffering.''
