NOVEMBER ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
JOYCE GLITTER
I have been exploring the creative side of life for some time now and I have had all kinds of artistic adventures! I started creating in my teens but put creative projects aside to focus on career and family. My re-entry to the art world started with paper crafting and scrapbooking, which led to card making, mixed media, hand-lettering, paper and fabric marbling, and journal making. Where there are journals, there are boxes, and this is the path that led me to cartonnage- the art of decorative box making. The creative possibilities of designing projects with paper and fabric are endless! I want to share the joy of creating beautiful, functional, custom made items with others. It’s just plain fun!
Joyce will be demonstrating on

Shawnta is an author and artist. Her writing addresses crucial topics like loving oneself, helping others, overcoming challenges, celebrating diversity, and championing inclusion – in a way that makes them accessible, understandable, and engaging for even the youngest learners. Her early childhood and school support work gifted her with worlds of backgrounds, lifestyles, challenges, and triumphs throughout countless communities, providing further inspiration for her work as an author. She is also the illustrator of her books. How did it all start for her? Shawnta’s corporate career in professional development ignited a commitment to lifelong learning which only grew stronger when she began working with children. She began blogging, and eventually began writing, illustrating, and publishing a series of inclusive children’s picture books. Shawnta lives with her beautifully multicultural family near Milwaukee, WI.
