This series features works where pink and its variations are the main attraction.  The works are gestural and happy with movement and personality

Variations on a Theme of Pink

Here the focus is a more neutral feel.  This series includes artworks in different mediums where the colours of White, Black, Gold, and Grey are used in the composition

Mindscape

Blue and Green have a calming and meditative effect. When used in a painting there are so many variations available making the creative process a true journey in itself. 

Several of these paintings have been inspired by American abstract expressionist Joan Mitchell (1925 - 1922), while others are in the textured style of the late Canadian abstractionist Jean Albert McEwen (1923 - 1999)

Blue and Green

This series has been inspired by the works of several of the great Abstract Expressionists of Post World War II, which include Franz Kline, Hans Hoffmann, and  Robert Motherwell.

Most of the paintings are 'action' or gestural in nature.  There is a strong use of color, often red and sometimes pink, along with shades of grey and black, and almost always gold pulling the viewer into the work.  Each painting begins with a textured application of Acrylic Gesso to create a design after which acrylic paint is applied allowing the underpainting to show through and add interest. Splatters, drips, and markings are a big part of the process.

Eclectic Vision

This series features figurative and mood portraits in various mediums from what remains of Joyce's 'Figurative' period created from 2000 to 2019 before she moved her practice to Abstract Expressionism and Figurative Sculpture.  

Joyce has exhibited her figurative works in Canada, the United States, Italy, and Germany on several occasions. Her figurative works and commissioned portraits are found in collections worldwide.

Figurative and Mood

This newest series is comprised of both free-standing sculptures and wall sculptures made using various mixed media.   The series is inspired by Joyce's love of all things 'tactile' and her desire to experiment with different materials and original patinas. Each piece is unique and one of a kind. Several are available as prints!

Mixed Media Wall Sculpture

This series represents the other side of Joyce's multidisciplinary art practice.

Having studied academic figurative art and worked as a portrait artist for many years, Joyce is also moving her practice further into sculpting the human form.   All pieces are part of limited editions of ten and are professionally molded and cast at MST Bronze in Toronto
