Born in New York, Joni is a typical, friendly, open and comedic soul who will match anyone pun for pun when challenged. Currently in her late 60’s she has revived her artistic flair restoring and decorating frames, mirrors and basically anything she can get her hands on. The love of color and the 1960s era is evident in her designs. Joni obtained a late in life degree in Social Work from Barry University and enjoyed a variety of careers both before and after that. From meter maid to Code Enforcement Officer and eventually to elementary school teacher, her broad interests have taken her many places. Joni enjoys reading, traveling, summers in New York, her chess coach husband Larry, her kids and her beautiful 4 years old grandson Ben.
