Art for Charity
RAISE MONEY WITH JOY
I'm Joy of JoyousJoyfulJoyness, a small business based in the East Bay area of California. I make custom and readymade foiled art of animals, people, and food, and I'm passionate about activism and using my art for charity.
I am available to help your nonprofit in your fundraising efforts.
