As a Landscape painter and Portrait Artist, Joyce has always loved to draw and is fascinated with the way places and people change with the variations in light.

While art has always been a major influence in her life, Joyce initially pursued careers first in Health Care and then in Business. Today, she is happy to be pursuing her art full time.

Joyce first studied Landscape painting at the Buckhorn School of Fine Art where she developed her skills as a ‘pallet knife’ painter. Since then she has expanded her artistic creativity at the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto where she is learning the secrets of the Old Masters, both in figure drawing and painting.

Joyce’s work can be categorized as a combination of Impressionism and Contemporary Realism consisting of landscapes, architecture and figurative works executed in several different mediums, including oil, charcoal, and graphite. She has traveled extensively and much of her work is the result of inspiration from abroad.

Joyce has been fortunate to receive several commissions over the years to include personalized landscape paintings, portraits, book illustrations, and most recently a commemorative drawing for the Canadian Military. She is a juried member of the Portrait Society of Canada.

Joyce has exhibited in several group and solo shows in Toronto and Montreal over the last five years with her first international exhibition at the prestigious Florence Biennale in December 2007.
