Joyce Lomax
Fine Artist
Love of art came
early to Joyce Lomax who spent her childhood in Akron,
Ohio. As a child, Joyce found herself drawing and painting
and expanding her creative expression. The resources were
not available to support her formal art training…so she did
what many of her forefathers did—she taught herself!
Joyce explored
many mediums before she embraced her signature pressed
copper paintings and ceramic work. A love of color, stories
and self expression through mixed media, accurately
summarizes her repertoire of artwork. Her art is rich and
earthy with a primitive flare, depicting characters and
experiences in her African American environment. Some of
her depictions are lighthearted with a bit of humor.
Joyce has won
several awards, including: Afr-Am show-Norfolk,
Virginia—third place 2004 and South Dekalb Heritage Festival
Palette Award 2003.
She and or her
art can be found at various cultural events and art shows in
Atlanta and around the country.
“Art is about the
ability to explore and express feelings through a chosen
medium, while attempting to connect with another soul. It
is a privilege for me to create and share. Hopefully,
someone gets it………………..I will continue to explore!” |
