The Seed

I have added my recent abstract paintings to the Art Gallery.

Dr. Gutherie’s commissioned three of the paintings (Infinity, Spiral and Compass) for his dental office. The four seasons were sold as a group.

Joy’s Artist Statement

Posted by Joy on Jan 23 2008 | Art and Creativity

Drawing teaches me to see and understand the physical world: earth and matter, light and shadow. The colors in organic materials bring me joy. I observe in nature subtle, complex, luminescent hues, awakening my senses.

The process of drawing informs me. The lines and marks on paper take on a life of their own, mirroring information that I would otherwise miss. I love the visceral connection to childhood, the natural flow of the hand giving way to expression. I appreciate the process of learning by doing. Observation, action, and reflection are great teachers.
