Joyce  Thornburg                             Welcome to my website

 

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a compulsive artist...my paint brush is a broom for my brain and the utensil

that feeds my soul. I paint everyday because

I HAVE TO! 

My muses include my cats , the friendly

ghosts of my mother and grandmother...

even my demons!

Love of color and humor are the driving

forces behind my art. Quirky characters that

have taken up residence in my subconscious

find their way out thru my art...they make me

laugh and remind me to lighten up.

I love experimenting with new techniques

and surfaces to paint on. My art is constantly

evolving...its how I process emotions and

life experiences.
