ABOUT
Artist's Statement/Biography
A resident of Marstons Mills, Joyce Groemmer received her B.A. in Studio Art from Bates College and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in the summer of 1980. For more than 15 years, Joyce painted primarily in soft pastels, but now works in a variety of mixed media.
Rocks, waves and fields inspired by Cape Cod, Maine and Utah, are recurring subjects in Joyce’s representative paintings and continue to influence her abstract work.
Joyce’s artwork has been shown in numerous juried exhibitions on Cape Cod and also in groups shows including: Cape Cod Waters: Salty & Fresh, Woodruff's Art Center (September, 2020) and Cape Cod: An Artist's View, Cape Cod Maritime Museum (Winter 2019). Solo exhibitions include Innerscapes, Cultural Center of Cape Cod, March, 2015 and Cape Lands, Momo’s of Sandwich, October 2011.
