Biography
Joyce Fournier is a Toronto Portrait Artist who categorizes her work as a combination of Impressionism and Contemporary Realism executed in several media to include oil, acrylic, and charcoal. While drawing and painting the human form is her first passion, Joyce has also moved into abstract expressionist painting and figurative sculpture over the last few years.
In 2016 Joyce was selected as a finalist in the Portrait Society of America's annual Members Only Competition in the landscape category. She is the recipient of an Award of Excellence from Art Domain Gallery as part of the 2008 Palm Art Award Exhibition for her work ‘In Blue’, Leipzig Germany and most recently a second place Prize of Excellence for ART NOW 3 - The 3rd Annual Juried Contemporary Art Online Competition /Exhibition 2008-2009 from Artoteque based London England for her work ‘The Promise’.
Joyce’s figurative works, commissioned portraits, abstract paintings, and bronze sculptures are found in private collections in Canada, the USA, and Europe. Her broad range of artwork has been featured on several occasions in the prestigious American Art Collector magazine since 2009
