Joy Brilliant

she/her

Born in Phoenix, Arizona, I am a self-taught artist, and poet. I use art and poetry as a means of processing my emotions, and my art typically concerns such topics as identity, incarceration, trauma, and transformation. I use the materials I am limited to in prison, such as colored pencils, water colors, and pens.
