ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORSHAWN DELL JOYCE
Shawn Dell Joyce was born in Texas in 1965 and grew up on the border in Brownsville Tx. She worked in her family’s citrus orchards until an unseasonable frost killed the orchards in 1982. This loss changed the trajectory of her career from farmer to artist. She went to art school at University of North Texas in Denton, and studied Semiotics with artist Vernon Fisher, then transferred to San Francisco Art Institute in 1987. Her real education happened as an artist’s apprentice in SoHo section of NY where she worked in several artist’s studios until leaving the city for the beautiful farmlands North of New York City and began teaching plein air classes in 2000, and continued weekly for 24 years. She founded a plein air school with an Arts and Agricultural mission based on the historic Hudson River School, called the Wallkill River School of Art. It still exists today as a nonprofit arts organization with a mission of bringing cultural tourism to the Hudson Valley region through plein air painting workshops and events on local farms, historic sites and open spaces. Joyce has won many prestigious awards for plein air painting, and is a signature member of New York Plein Air Painters (NYPAP), and International Plein Air Painters (IPAP), and Pastel Society of Tampa Bay (PSTB). She has been featured in many national newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Plein Air Magazine, Plein Air Podcast with Eric Rhoads, Pastel Journal Magazine, Tampa Bay Magazine. She is represented by six galleries around the country including Wallkill River School in NY, Art Expo Fine Art in St. Pete, and Lakeside Inn Gallery in Mount Dora, FL, and Gallery 621 in Tallahassee. She teaches workshops in pastel and plein air techniques across the country in Staunton, VA, Olana in NY, Tampa Bay Florida, and is included in museum collections in the Georges Pompidou Museum in France and the Museum of Modern Art in NY. She recently won the Creative Pinellas grant for established artists in 2023, Best in Show for Central Florida Pastel Society Annual Exhibit, and Best in Show for 2024 Pastel Society of Tampa Bay Annual Exhibit. |
