About Amanda Joy

Amanda Joy is a creativity coach and workshop facilitator in and around the Oklahoma City metro area. An artist by profession, Amanda Joy has been a muralist for the last eleven years and has been an art instructor for children and adults since 1999. She spent one year studying under the tutelage of Dr. Lucia Capacchione and her partner, Dr. Marsha Nelson in the intensive Creative Journal Expressive Arts training program, of which she recently graduated. Besides leading workshops and doing one-on-one work, Amanda Joy is currently using the Creative Journal method as a reflective tool in an Oklahoma City high school through the Learn and Serve program.

"SInce my introduction to the Creative Journal method, my life has changed in ways I could not have fathomed. Many of the changes can not be seen by simply looking at me. I entered this realm with the aim of enhancing my creativity. What I did not know was that creativity permeates every aspect of my life, as it does yours. What I have realized through the course of sharing this work is that everyone has the ability to tap into the creative wellspring, and if you are willing to do so, it will spill out into your everyday affairs and into your relationships in the most colorful ways."
