Sparkle Joy Arroyo New artist statement




My name is Sparkle Joy Arroyo and I am currently a post bac senior currently working towards my BFA.

My art is about combining materials, some found some created and integrating them into different organic shapes and forms. It is my hope that by combining different approaches to art I will be able to go beyond having a talent gained by practice in a craft or hobby and into being able to create 3 dimensional works that are about more than just useful items. I want to shy away from creating works that are kitsch or cliché and focus more on creating art that is important to this generation. I have always loved creating artful things with my hands, but had only the opportunity to do so with fabric, yarn and thread before taking art classes; which is why I believe I truly enjoy the art of ceramics.

I want to create art that will touch the world and withstand the trials of time within it. I like creating things that are abstract, and I love painting landscapes. I love things that don’t have a specific answer as to what it is supposed to be. Painting allows me to look at things up close, and I enjoy drawing because it helps me to design. I enjoy the free form of creativity that ceramics gives, but I don’t only focus on art in that medium.
