The open spaces and quiet places of nature best describe the inspiration behind my encaustic mixed media work that seeks to make connections between humankind and the environment through the exploration of spaces and places.

As a quilter, years ago I began embellishing my smaller works with beads and ephemera. That led to making bead embroidered jewelry, where beads and stones are sewn on by hand. The colors and textures of textiles and stones intrigue me. Inspiration is found all around, in nature, in music, in the play of sunlight […]

Joyce describes her style as painterly realism in oil. She strives for clear color, a strong focal point, and a good design. “Living in Western N.

Glass offers colors, depth, translucence and fluidity that speak to me and help me speak to others. I have worked with glass since 2001 creating pieces with a balanced asymmetry that are meant to capture both the eye and the heart.
