ABOUT JOY

Joy Pompeo paints original mandalas (circles) free-hand with acrylic on canvas and wood panels. She has been drawing and painting mandalas for over 15 years.

Joy was born into a large family in Pennsylvania and raised in South Florida by Maggie Pompeo, who is also an artist. She spent eight years in the San Francisco Bay Area where she learned to make jewelry and continued to practice painting mandalas. After the Bay Area, Joy moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where she learned to make prints and note cards of her artwork. She was the featured Artist of the Month in the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) in May of 2012. You can find some of her work in the NOMA gift shop. She is also a featured artist at GoGo Jewelry on Magazine Street in Uptown New Orleans.


Joy now lives in Asheville, North Carolina. She has begun experimenting with painting watercolor portraits. They will be available for purchase soon in her online shop. Click on the link above to view her shop.
