Job description

Education

Joy earned an associate’s degree in fine arts from Mesa College, now known as Colorado Mesa University. She has worked in the printing industry since the late ’70s when she started with Cowden Niehues Advertising, then worked at various print shops and newspapers from Grand Junction to Durango.

Bio
