"Joyce is an obvious choice because of her enthusiasm and willing participation in the activities of the Associa- tion. She’s a gifted artist and a real asset to our organiza- tion,” said Association President Russ Myer. Joyce has been an artist at heart all her life. She was introduced to the perform- ing arts at birth, as she was born in Nashville. Her father had a country western band for 15 years and a life- long career in music. Joyce’s family crossed the US three times before she was 12. In fourth grade she attended five different schools in three states. While living in River- side, Joyce was drawn to music and the vocal arts. In teen and college years, she sang and performed, win- ning some awards. Howev- er, visual arts were a con- stant childhood pastime. She loved to decorate her school papers with sketch- es, doodles and fanciful pencil work. Her artistic abilities blos- somed in 1973 while work- ing for Spreckles Sugar in Salinas when she was asked to illustrate the company’s monthly newsletter. That year her husband gave her an oil paint set. This led her to discover a passion for painting. Joyce and her family moved to Tehama County in 1981. Here she discov- ered that acrylic paints were more suitable for her style and health as she developed allergies to oils. Mostly self- taught, Joyce has sold vari- ous works to friends, family members and co-workers throughout the years. Around 1996, an interest in watercolor drove her to begin taking classes and workshops in that medium whenever she could spare the time. Joyce says she considers herself a perpetu- al student and her work has garnered the interest of art lovers locally and statewide. Her subject matter has included landscapes, sun- sets, portraits and even prize-winning roosters. Earlier this year, Joyce retired from Bell Carter Olive Co. after 28 years. She is excited to finally have the chance to join fel- low local artists in the Red Bluff Art Association, where she is serving as treasurer. She is a busy grandmother, avid movie and music aficionado, active Christian and cat lover. She is working on a commissioned acrylic painting of a patron’s fami- ly home in Green Lake, Wis., while trying to com- plete several other paint- ings. She strives to paint every day, excelling partic- ularly in florals and land- scapes. Her dream is to complete enough paintings to hold a show of her own. She is open to new commissioned pieces with advanced notice. Some of her artwork can be seen at the Montana Morrison Gallery, 625 Wal- nut St., or viewed online at www.joyceturley.net.
