Joyce Jonte - Watercolor
Founding Member in 2003
Born in Berkeley, California in 1957, I grew up in the Bay Area, moving to Arcata in 1974 to study art at HSU.
I graduated in 1979 with emphases in watercolor painting, representational drawing, and life drawing. I have pursued a passionate study of watercolor technique in the ensuing decades, establishing myself as a valued member of our vibrant local art community. I collaborate with the Redwood Model Collective, offering 2 to 3 drop in life drawing sessions each week. Sessions are held at the beautiful Redwood Art Association Gallery in Eureka.
In addition to my figurative work, I work en plein aire in the summer months and from my photos in the winter, describing the exquisite natural beauty that surrounds us.
I am available for commission and have an open studio by appointment.
