Joie Villeneuve was born in Minnesota, USA and holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design. In 2008 Joie immigrated to Australia and currently works from her studio Mandurah, Western Australia. Joie is an award winning visual artist with a robust artistic practice spanning over 3 decades. She examines the connection between one’s outer environment and one’s inner consciousness by use of symbolism. Land, water, flora and fauna are drawn upon as inspiration and to expand upon this connection. Her work is an intricate fusion of texture, colour and materials. Her work encompasses painting, sculpture, printmaking, bookmaking and installation art. The mixed media approach to her work invites the viewer in for closer interaction.
