JOYCE TAYLOR studied at Gray's School of
Art, Aberdeen specialising in Drawing and Painting. At Gray's, she
was awarded the Patrick Allen Fraser Hospitalfield Scholarship.
Following postgraduate teacher training at Northern College, Aberdeen,
she taught art at Peterhead Academy before becoming an interior designer
in Aberdeen for 7 years. Joyce returned to teaching in 1992 and now
teaches Art and Design at Fraserburgh Academy while pursuing her career
as an artist.
I paint mainly in oils and watercolour. My work is inspired by the sea, especially the coastal villages of north-east Scotland and the Mediterranean coast of France. As a painter, secondary teacher of Art & Design and adult education tutor I feel I have made a serious commitment to Art. Art is central to my life and essential to my well being. When I am not teaching others I am working in my studio. My philosophy is probably better expressed with a paintbrush than in words. Joyce is now a valued tutor at Tolquhon Studio Workshop in Udny Green. Joyce has exhibited her work in many public galleries
including the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh and Aberdeen Art
Gallery. Her work is found in private collections in the UK, France,
Germany, USA, Australia, Qatar, Jamaica, Canada, Norway and in public
and corporate collections in the UK and France.
