Joy Olney – Featured Artist
When I first saw Joy Olney’s paintings, I was impressed with the glorious light that infused each canvas. It sparkled on water. It shone on an athlete’s face. It escaped from behind a wall.

I love this life like I lovehorses. The soft velvet of their muzzlesagainst my cheek. Sassy flicks and swishesof coarse tails. The way we run together,abandoning every thought fora good gallop.
