Joy's Garden Trio
It all began on a whim! I applied for a residency in France ~ and when I got the packet from Musee de La Grande Vigne, the first thing I had to do was have someone translate the instructions! My whim became a dream-come-true that transformed my art, my artistic practice, and my life.

Breadcrumbs from my real-life footsteps of my creative journey
See my paintings, sketches, photos, dreams, wishes, poetry, and create your own journey!
When I landed in France, I felt as though I'd awakened in a dream! I'd always know myself as a landscape painter ~ yet the landscape in this new place was somehow different. Symbols in my dreams came to life in my paintings. More questions than answers, each painting opened me to new possibilities for an artistry I'd hoped would someday be me!

In the book, you'll find the story of how I transformed my palette. And you'll find juxtaposed my dreams, photos, sketches, paintings, and breadcrumbs for you to follow along on your own creative journey.
