Joyce's Virtual Gallery:
Europe Tour
I am so grateful for having been able to enjoy two loves in my life, my caregiving career and my creative side. I loved my job as a bedside nurse, spanning sixty years, and my love of creating art. Whether it was sewing a garment or a quilt, building a dollhouse from scratch, or painting a beautiful scene on canvas, it has always been meditative for me fulfilling my creative side. I have been so lucky in living long enough to accomplish some of my more lofty goals. My ability to have travelled the world to paint with other artists has been the frosting on the cake.
