Let's get started


To get this started, I decided I would share a little information about myself. For starters, my name is Joy Dietz, I am 23 years old and currently live in Vacaville California where I was born and raised. Yes I commute to Sacramento three times a week for school. This is my 5th year at Sac State and I am majoring in Studio Art with a concentration in painting and drawing. The painting above is actually a self-portrait of myself in a landscape that I painted last semester. I am hoping to graduate in the spring of 2015. I was originally planning on graduating this fall, but I decided to take less classes this semester and finish a semester later because I am getting married this April and wanted to have time to plan. I am not quite sure yet what I want to do once I graduate, but a dream job  of mine would be to work for Disney. I love to paint landscapes, but would also love to do some paintings with a subject matter of Disney. Whatever I end up doing, I know it will involve doing what I love; painting. Along with school and planning a wedding, I also work part time at Homegoods in Vacaville.  My fiancĂ© and I are also currently in Escrow for buying our first house together. As you can see I am very busy, but I look forward to this semester and this class, where I will get to take off some time from all of this craziness and visit galleries, exhibitions, and art lectures, in order to learn more about what I love!
