| Joyce is a multi-media artist. She works in
watercolor, acrylic and often combines
collage into many of her works. She
believes, “Collage adds another dimension
and extra intrigue to a painting.” Most of Joyce’s inspiration has come from her travels. She has traveled extensively around the world usually working from her photos soon after she returns home. She says it gives her a sense of completing the journey. People, animals (African) and significant objects are the subjects she loves to paint. Aside from family, painting and traveling , Joyce loves music and listens to soft Jazz while she works in her studio. Since 2009 she has been going to many Jazz Festivals around the country and often painting the musicians she sees once she is back in her studio. |
