Joy Gonzalez
Joy Gonzalez is a contemporary southern California artist. She works in oils, watercolor and pastel. Her work predominately centers on landscapes and seascapes — especially scenes from Coastal California, the Sierra Nevada, and Southwestern United States. She prefers to paint en plein air to capture shifting light and atmosphere. She will then expand those studies into larger studio works. Her style balances expressive brushwork with a strong sense of realism.
Gonzalez studied fine arts at the University of California, Los Angeles, earning a Bachelor of Art degree. She has additionally studied at workshops with notable artists. She has exhibited her work in numerous solo and group shows. Gonzalez maintains her studio at the Loft Studios and Gallery in San Pedro, where her work can be seen during monthly art events.
