Biography

By l987, Joyce had remarried, the children were out of the nest, but her busy schedule left
little time to create the art that she visualized.  She was frustrated and had “hit the wall”
creativily.  She began experimenting with an old 35mm camera and high-speed film
photographing nudes and women with their babies, and the rest is history.  She found her
passion, and for the past 25 years, Joyce has become known primarily as a fine art photographer and educator.  Rarely do you find a talent who can consistently produce images with creativity and imagination, and who also possesses a magical ability to share.  After more than 45 years, Joyce’s work is fresher and stronger than ever…for her, rebirth is continuous if you open your heart to it, and with your imagination anything is possible.

Joyce now lives and works out of Santa Barbara, CA where she services a select clientele and instructs at choice photographic workshops.  She served on the faculty at Brooks Institute from 2000-2006 and continues to guest lecture and as adjunct faculty teaches the popular Beyond Portraiture class.
