Self-Portrait on Texture Drawing

Always an artist in various media, I began painting late in life and have little regard for rules in the creative process. Art represents freedom. I am for the most part untrained and strive to preserve my own artistic vision. Texture is my passion, but I enjoy experimenting with lines, repetition, and layering. My art spans a wide variety of subjects and techniques. That's what keeps me fresh. Occasionally, I become very involved in color, but I am also at home playing with only shadow and light. My Work has been shown in galleries, appeared in magazines, and is in the homes of art collectors around the world. I can be reached at joyce@jabsart.com @handle → @jabsartdc
