| Artist Biography |
Kim Steinmuller Joy was raised in upstate New York and now lives and works in Springfield, VA. She
has been a stained glass artist and teacher since 1982. Her works are in private and public
collections worldwide. As a bead artist, Kim has been working since 2001. Her jewelry pieces can also
be found worldwide. Most of her pieces are in the traditional style and starting to branch out to
incorporate materials not usually found in the mediums.
She has been taught by local artists in New Mexico and for bead work she has received instruction
from PJ Solomanson of Kailua, HI and she apprenticed under Janet Flynn of the Beaded Rabbit in
Great Falls, VA.
Kim came from a family with various artistic talents- watercolor, woodworking, quilting, stained glass,
masonry and poetry. In following her ancestral footsteps she has chosen stained glass and bead work
as her mediums to express her artistic heritage.
Kim believes that though her pieces she can grow and learn more about the world around her and
where she came from. She hopes that her work will inspire and encourage others in their artistic
endeavors.
Kim is a member of Ellipse in Arlington, VA. She belongs to National Capital Art Glass Guild,
Northern Virginia Bead Society and PMC Guild. Her work can be found at Ellipse, Kawamura Arts &
Crafts Center Ft. Belvoir VA and at various local craft shows.
