Joy is fascinated with creating light and color with paint. She feels amazed when observing the colors of nature and wants to bring these feelings into her canvases. She desires her paintings to be a visual meditation on light and color, drawing the viewer into a deeper relationship with nature.
I loves to work with the luscious colors of oil paint. Using brushes, oil paint, oil sticks, palette knives and rags. I builds up layers of paint on my canvas, creating a rich textured surface of broken colors. With this layering process I am able to achieve many subtle color combinations and contrasts, bringing a luminosity and glow to my paintings.
