About Joyce

For almost 38 years, I’ve walked beside my husband Glen, not only as his companion, but as his caretaker. We navigated the realities of mental illness and the consequential seasons of hardship.

Seventeen years ago, his story inspired the creation of guitar string jewelry, a creative path that became one of the most meaningful parts of our life together. Everything I made became as expression of hope for people walking through difficult seasons.

Somewhere along the way, though, I lost sight of myself. For most of my life, I’ve cared for others, carried responsibilities, and done whatever was necessary to keep moving forward. Now, at 62, I’m entering a new chapter of reclaiming artistry and joy.

I’m returning to the things that have always stirred something deep in me: nature, nostalgia, watercolor, vintage treasures, and the simple wonder of creating. When I paint, I feel the same sense of wonder I once experienced at the piano. I lose myself in beauty. I find myself in joy. I’m not walking away from the work I’ve built. I’m simply allowing it to evolve with me.

Joy doesn’t mean life is easy. It simply becomes the fuel for everything we do. Today, my artistry is about creating a life rooted in beauty, wonder, and joy, and I’m inviting you along.
