JOY MOTISI'S BIOGRAPHY

Ms. Motisi with one of her stained glass works of art.

Joy Motisi has long enjoyed a fascination with the beauty of glass - its relationship with light and the spectrum of color. Her journey to artistic perfection began in 1981 with private tutelage in the studio of Master Craftsman, Angelo Zucano of Nyack, New York. She explored and studied the techniques of the “Tiffany” method of stained glass construction, a foil method of stain glass invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1893. Like Tiffany, but uniquely her own in design, Ms. Motisi now creates intricately designed pieces which would be almost impossible to achieve in the older leaded process.

In 1986 Ms. Motisi launched her professional career with numerous commissioned pieces, including one to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the Nyack Fire Department, Nyack, New York. With the growth of her skills and reputation, Ms. Motisi accepted a teaching position for the Adult Education 

Division of the Town of Clarkstown, New City, New York in 1989. She enjoyed sharing the love of the fine art of stained glass with beginning artists and the opportunity to expand creatively.

Ms. Motisi moved with her husband from New York to Cape Cod in 1994. She is constantly inspired by the natural beauty of Cape Cod and is now devoting all of her energy to creating works of art in the medium of glass. Ms. Motisi has become renowned for her exceptional designs, many of which incorporate sculpture or extraordinary objects into her creations. Since coming to the Cape she has had numerous exhibitions of her work with her last exhibition being a sell out show at the Museum of Natural History, Brewster, MA in 1999.

About the Process

Work begins in the design stage and a pattern is created. Glass is meticulously chosen for its individual personality and ability to enhance the design. The glass is then cut and ground to accommodate the pattern. The process continues with copper foiling, fluxing, and bead soldering. Patinas are applied and the finished piece is polished.

Ms. Motisi is available for private commissions to suit your needs. Please contact us for details.
