Landscapes

Joy Parsons is inspired by the vast and diverse beauty of the world. She strives to travel, as a practicing element, vital to enriching her work. But, although she is captivated by what she sees on here journeys, she allways comes back home, to Northwestern Ontario. Lake of the Woods is a natural gem filled with over 14, 000 islands and 65,000 miles of shoreline, countless beaches, lakes and rivers. The landscape also has vast amounts of prestine forests. Joy Parsons grew up on a llama, peacock and emu farm located on 88 acres of land, which she is still mesmirized by today.

Abstract


"The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real."  Lucian Freud

 

"What goes on in abstract art is the proclaiming of aesthetic principles... Art never can be imitation." Hans Hofmann

 

"Don't paint from nature too much. Art is an abstraction. Derive this abstraction from nature while dreaming before it, and think more of the creation that will result" Paul Gauguin

Bio

 

​Joy Parsons was born and raised in Kenora, Ontario, and lived in Calgary, AB, Thunder Bay, ON and Bristol, UK.She has her Bachelor of Arts /Bachelor of Education from Lakehead University.

Joy has always been an artist, in her own words, “becoming an artist was not a decision made, but instead a path followed”. Whether on Lake of the Woods or travelling through other destinations, she is forever inspired by the aesthetics of and experiences in her surroundings. Although, she works mainly with paint, she is not limited to one medium and never stops exploring new materials. She is always in an act of exploration while making digital art, ceramics, sculpture, jewelery, clothing, paintings or other expression of creativity. When she creates she strives for a balance of intuitive action and analytical thought. She writes, “When I work I let go of all inhibition, embracing intuition and random action. I step back to critically assess the state of my progress, and then repeat this cycle. Through this process I birth creations with an evolving style, reflective of my growth“.
