Note from Joyce Hicks...
I’ve always been able to visualize
places and things in a very idealistic way, but it wasn’t until I discovered
painting that I was able to express and interpret my own personal view of the
world. My art is not always a true rendition of what is actually there but how
I wish it could be. If the old white homestead is a bit neglected, then I will
just capture it in sunlight to discover its real beauty. If there is only one
withered rose on the old trellis then why not one hundred in full bloom?
Frequent travel allows me to see and define what my heart is drawn to; not in
the grand or extraordinary but in simple unassuming beauty. Painting gives me
the opportunity to unite visual images with a montage of personal memories
stored over my life time. In an attempt to translate my feelings for a subject
I use interesting brush strokes, strong contrasts, sunlight and shadow in
colors both soft and bold. These elements combine in a very personal and unique
way providing a visual welcome mat, of sorts, tempting others into my world. My
hope is to uplift the human spirit and inspire others to join me as I continue
my artful journey.....Joyce Hicks, AWS
