WAOW Artistry of the West
The WAOW Artistry is slowly being built to provide a page on our site to promote each artist. This project began late summer 2024. We have over 300 members to load here on their pages. You can search by name, location or by subject matter to find an artist.
Joye DeGoede • Arizona • waow
Joye DeGoede’s works juxtapose reality with fantasy, inspiring the viewer to see the fun in the mundane and the vast opportunities for joy in our everyday world. She loves painting the surrealistic mixture of animals imitating human habits and in their natural habitat. Wildlife conservation art is near and dear to her heart. DeGoede’s art has taken an unanticipated fun turn. She is very serious with her subject matter and message. Life is too short not to laugh, smile and enjoy life. She didn't want people to perceive the JoyEful Party Animals ® as drunken animals. They are joyful creatures on this grand adventure of life.
