Joyce Harvey

Joyce Harvey lives, works, plays and paints in Charleston SC. She spends much of her time boating the lowcountry marshes or sailing the east coast from Florida to New England—the inspiration for many of her paintings.

Her art today reflects a lifelong love of the water. While she continues to develop her artistic style, she specializes in expressive small oil paintings in both palette knife and brush.

Along with energetic, vibrant-colored palette knife paintings she also captures the peaceful serenity of quiet marshes and seaside scenes. Observers new to her work are usually surprised to find the same artist created paintings with such dramatically different styles—her favorite compliment of all.
