Joyce’s work is mainly autobiographical based on past memories intertwined with present experiences, woven around the backcloth of the once fishing village of Footdee at the mouth of Aberdeen harbour where she lived for over 30 years. Her renowned exhibition ‘War Tourist’ was based on her Father’s war backed up by extensive research following in his footsteps through Europe and Tunisia.
She has been exhibiting since 1969 and her work is held in numerous private and public collections, both here and abroad.
