Joyce Barker-Schwartz
Joyce Barker-Schwartz embarks on her artistic endeavors with a deliberate intention: to juxtapose the realms of thought and mass. Drawing from personal introspection and keen observation, she meticulously constructs her body of work, weaving together multifaceted, recurrent narratives. Her creative process entails delving beneath the surface and employing specialized techniques to infuse depth and structure into her pieces. Crucially, the use of color saturation serves as a pivotal tool in defining the narrative essence and vitality of her creations.
In her 'Icons' series, Barker-Schwartz explores the enduring influence and significance of both art and earthly resources in our daily existence. Employing a grid pattern, she not only provides visual structure but also infuses an emotive dimension into her paintings.
