Joyce considers herself a “colorist”. Her goal, with the use of bright color, is “to enhance what she sees to take the viewer to a higher level of the perception of beauty.” She tried watercolor a few years ago after painting in oils for many years. “I was hooked! It is continually challenging me and I find the brilliance of the colors a wonderful way to express my love of nature and the world around me.” Joyce is a member of the Lakes Region Watercolor Guild (Illinois), the Transparent Watercolor Society of America, the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild, and the Southwest Arizona Art Guild. Her work can be found in private collections around the country.

The subject matter of my paintings varies from landscapes and animals to pure abstraction. The paintings are generally two dimensional using interesting colors to portray my feeling about the subject. My work reflects my vision of the complex and organized but fluid world in which we live.

I have had a love affair with creating since I was a child using pencils and crayons. My love affair has only grown throughout the years. I am basically a self-developed artist, but have studied with several wonderful teachers both in California and Pennsylvania who have helped me to perfect my craft. My painting style is representational/realism. I originally painted in oil media, but in 1997 I battled Stage III breast cancer and became allergic to oil media. I knew that to stop creating was not an option, so I began to use watercolors and fell in love with their wonderful brilliance and luminosity. Although I could not paint while I was going through treatment for cancer, I never lost my desire or need to create. And now almost 10 years after battling both cancer and clinical depression, I have found a peace and serenity that is expressed in my painting. I welcome each new day with joy and thanksgiving to my Savior Jesus Christ. You may contact JoAnn from her website at: JGourleyFineArt.com Click on a picture to view a larger version.
I always wanted to become an artist.
I wanted to paint simple and beautiful landscapes. When I retired
from nursing, I made my move. I took some classes, started to draw
and then paint. I soon discovered that my inner child had other
ideas. I could not paint landscapes and I certainly could not paint
simply.
My Contemporary Architectural Landscape paintings involve Abstract interpretations and further explorations of geometric design.

Dorothy
Nelson Dorothy's watercolors reflect
a spiritual side she discovered when learning about the Navajo
people. Because of this spiritual connection, her paintings may
evolve from her original idea into something totally different
by the time they are completed. She loves the mountain and desert
colors and uses them heavily in her work.
