Sami Harawi remembers Joyce

Joyce

At the time I was preparing this Catalogue an extraordinary person
passed away, Joyce Simon

I met Joyce close to ten years ago, when I started my Mostly Glass Gallery venture
We hit it off immediately, and it only got better afterwards
Glass Art was the catalyst to the discovery of one the
nicest persons I have known,
and the youngest mind I have encountered

Joyce passed away in her mid seventies
Her mind, however was what you would
hope for a person in their twenties
Excitement, Lust to live, Discover...
Glass, travelling, theatre, poetry, cats, sports, movies…
Her enthusiasm was contagious and energizing

When I asked Ivana Houserova if I could place her Angel sculpture
on this dedication page, her reply was that
Joyce was actually an Angel for the Czech Glass Artists

Joyce leaves a multilevel void
in the persons who got the chance to know her
I miss her immensely
This Catalogue is in her memory
It has Work that she loved and made me see it even more
beautiful than I perceived when I chose it
