Blue Mountain Gallery to Present Shelley Joy Exhibition, 7/12-28

Blue Mountain Gallery will present selected oil paintings by Shelley Joy.  Described as "a high-spirited American original, she’s a visionary.  Her knowledge and experience of dance, acting, and music all embody the word 'Artist.'  She believes in multi-faceted creativity when it comes to art, the art world and collaborations."

She has shown works in the Museum of Modern Art, N.Y.C.; the Toyamaya Museum, Japan; the Vanderbilt Museum, L.I.; and the New Atrium Museum of the Louvre. 

Ms. Joy has had solo exhibitions in New York City at Toyamaya International Inc., Domus Design Center, and Sunda Fine Art.  At Lever House, in the Visual Individualist United show, she won an award and was a guest lecturer.
