by Joy Maloney of JoyfulHandKnits
I am a pastor's wife, mom, and a grandmother. I currently live in Florida, but am a Kentucky native. I specialize in pastel chalk/colored pencil portraits and graphite/pencil sketches of people.
I also do pen & ink drawings/illustrations of houses, churches and historic buildings. In the past, I have been commissioned to do portraits, landscapes, still life paintings, murals (both realistic and pop art) for businesses and homes, advertising design for print ads, children's book illustrations, logo design and pet portraits.
Lately, I have enjoyed painting little dogs on purses and accessories - mostly yorkies, just because I'm more familiar with them and love 'em - but I have painted other breeds as well.
I am also doing some mini paintings and original ACEOs.
Recently, my daughter and I published a children's book together. She wrote the book and I did the illustrations. http://www.kayleagrowsup.com/
How did you get your start on Etsy?
I read about it in the newspaper and thought I would try it.
What does a typical day look like for you?
Right now, I only have the mornings to do my artwork because am taking care of my granddaughter (another budding artist) in the afternoons.
If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
Hmmmmm - I am thinking of the Island of Roatan (Honduras) ... its a beautiful place!
What is your favorite Bible verse?

Nice to "meet" Deb. Cool that you are a Kentucky native. That is where I live. But I was born in Florida...where you live. LOL
I love butterflies, so this is my favorite:
