Joyce has been back on the Monterey Peninsula for 20 years. Part of the 20 years included working in George DeGroat's Extended Education Program teaching broadstroke techniques with pencil and silk painting techniques and design. Joyce received her BFA Degree from the Acdemy of Arts in Honolulu and has been represented by many Galleries and has won many awards. Although Joyce is comfortable in many mediums, watercolor and drawing seem to be the compelling forces at this time. Joyce feels very blessed to be able to continue the quest.
