Special Projects and Travels
Monet's Garden
Joyce's love of traveling to France and admiration for the Impressionist works of Claude Monet, took an amazing turn as she received permission for a private painting session in Claude Monet's Garden in Giverny, France. Going to the source of inspiration for many of Monet's incredible paintings was a dream come true. Her work "Les Nymphaes" is a tribute to the beauty of Monet's Garden and the legacy that was left behind in his living water garden.
Yosemite: Artist in Residence
Joyce was awarded the opportunity of Yosemite Artist in Residence in 2006, through the Yosemite Renaissance Program. After receiving word about her award, Joyce realized that she would be following in the footsteps of previous Yosemite artists such as Ansel Adams, Wayne Theibaud, Marcia Burtt and others. And, her work from the residency program will be considered for the permanent collection of the Yosemite Art Museum. This opportunity has given Joyce a historical link to one of America's National Parks. She has found Yosemite to be an awe inspiring place, where she feels deeply connected. So much so, she is creating a fine art book about her experiences there.
Commissions
Many of Joyce's paintings have been commissioned to become larger works from her on location field studies. Please contact her directly to discuss a specific location or size for your commissioned painting.
