Joyce has been on an artful journey her whole life. She began creating original clothing for her dolls when her mother taught her to sew at the age of 10. From that moment she realized she always wanted to create new work and learn new techniques. She continues to have a hunger to learn new techniques and combine them with her vast experiences. She studied Fibers at the Maryland Institute, College of Art and has her BFA in Crafts. She freelanced for many years as a costume designer in Baltimore and Washington areas.

I am a retired female with a love and a need to create fun and beautiful items from nature and whatever is at hand. I have been designing and creating for more than 40 years. I am attracted to the Chesapeake Bay Area, in part, because of a branch of my family has been around the Chesapeake Bay since the late 1600's. I love to walk the beaches and find natures art which I then bring home and turn into ornaments, paintings, boxes, candles, frames, jewelry and many more items.
Full-time inspired by color, design, and nature, initiates expressions through photography and acrylic painting on a part-time basis.
After attending Salisbury State College concentrating in Art History and Photography, I lived in other Eastern seaboard states and the southern region of Ontario, Canada. I returned to family ties on the Eastern Shore and raised two children in Talbot County. A few years ago I settled in Dorchester County to continue to be "near the water".
