Linda Joyce, daydreamer, grew up in central Florida where she wandered and played in the creek that flowed through the family property, sculpting little animals from creek-bed clay.  Fascinated with watercolor, she painted the wildflowers and native grasses growing all around her.  With charred bits of wood from the burn pile she drew upon her imagination. Texture, form and color became the language through which she examined and interpreted life.

Moving to a city far from home in her early adulthood interrupted her dialog with nature, and she began to feed her spirit with art classes at the local community center.  Experiments in the field of printmaking opened a new path of expression, and in college she began to pursue and broaden her knowledge of the medium, combining and exploring methods and materials with few restrictions, refining and developing the imagery she uses today.  Her abstract fusions of color and texture convey a life-long passion for and dialog with the nature of her youth.

Linda has a B.A. in Art and English form Houston Baptist University.
