Joyce Siegel

Artist Biography

Joyce Siegel is a working artist with a studio in Long Island City. She recently had a solo show at the Shag Gallery in Chelsea, NY. and works with the Pierogi gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Joyce began as a self taught artist and much of what she has learned has come from her interaction and observation of great art. While living in London, Joyce became fascinated with paintings, sculpture and especially drawings. She scoured the galleries and museums in London and New York. She developed her techniques at the The New York Studio School, The School of Visual Arts and Anderson Ranch. She has also worked with Jerry Salz, Suzanne Joelson, and more recently with Shazia Sikander and Joan Snyder. Joyce was a resident at the artist colony Yaddo, the summer of 2006, and again in 2009.

Joyce primarily works with water based products on paper. She is intrigued by the surface and edges of paper. Joyce has always been fascinated by the creative process; one mark leading to the next mark, as well as one drawing developing into the next drawing.

Besides producing her own work, Joyce has worked with children from The Dalton School, P.S. 6 and the 92nd Street Y Nursery School creating large scale grid drawings. The drawings incorporate sentences, letters, marks and words generated by the children. The entire student body is involved in the drawings which have raised significant funds for these institutions.

Her work is in private collections throughout the United States.

Joyce Siegel was born in New York City where she currently resides. She received a B.S. in Economics in 1982 from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and worked on Wall Street for 10 years,
