Meet the Artist... Joyce A. Young's watercolors express her love of beauty in all forms and themes. She especially enjoys the research involved to create her work. With a solid base of information, she can capture the idea for your personal art piece. Workshop students catch Joyce's enthusiasm for watercolor as she teaches through demonstrations and individual help. She prefers small classes and often works through subjects selected by her students. Raised in Hutchinson, Minnesota, the art interest began as a child with her discovery of bird eggs and a series of J. J. Audubon cards in a neighbor's barn. She continued with colored pencils, collage and wood projects. Life continued along many paths, as she completed a degree in Dental Hygiene at the University of Minnesota, raised two sons, completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications at Concordia University in St. Paul, served as President of the Artists of Minnesota organization, and has been active in Crow River Arts, Inc. in Hutchinson, and the Leech League Art League in Walker, Minnesota. Joyce and her husband Les reside on ten acres southeast of Hutchinson where she recently opened Twin Birch Gallery and Studio. Since 1989, with watercolor as her focus, she has held solo art exhibitions in the United States, receiving many awards for her special depictions of local buildings and scenes.
