About
Joan Coye is an intuitive artist who works with vintage jewelry and found items, acrylics, and in clay (to bronze). Her sculptures are primarily figurative while her non-clay works are abstract and symbolic in nature. In these, she artfully integrates multiple media sources into rhythmic patterns, with rich color palates and embedded messages. Joan’s bronze sculptures exude grace, movement, feminine strength and are strongly influenced by her personal experience with the S Factor feminine movement practice. Her female nudes in acrylic and mixed media draw from French art and culture. Joan’s unique biography and sources/inspirations behind her oeuvre, reveal an artist who has deftly integrated passion, spirituality, individualism and solid technique to create a genuinely original body of work.
