Artist Statement:

Joyce concentrates on watermedia - watercolor and acrylic. Her
paintings have been featured in local one-person shows and juried into National and regional
competitions.

You will find Joyce exhibiting her paintings at the

"Outdoor Fine Art Fairs" spring and fall around the Valley of Las Vegas and Henderson.

She feels she is doing this for three reasons, to show, to tell, and to
sell, which she does very well.

The subjects for her award winning petroglyph paintings can be found in places like Grapevine Canyon, and Vallery of Fire.lick on image to see a larger version of one of her "Petroglyph Paintings"
