Joyce is a spontaneous, intuitive painter who is inspired by the

nuance of color relationships. Living and working on Colorado River

provides ample opportunity to observe color changes relating to

atmosphere, temperature, wind, time of day and season. Even the

most pastoral scene, when observed carefully, is riotous in color,

texture, pattern and value.

Observation of the elements, textures of plant materials and the water

as it is affected by depth, wind, light and shadow are played out with

paint in her studio.

Joyce graduated from the University of Tulsa with a B.S., Business

Administration; B.S. from the University of Texas of the Permian

Basin, Fine Art; and Texas Tech University with a Master of Fine Art.
