Autobiography
Myrtle Joy is a artist, living in Holt, Michigan
and has always loved to draw and paint since
she was a very young child. She grew up in
Cadillac, Michigan. Myrtle’s dream every
since she was about 20 years old has always
been to have her art become famous. She would
like to express to the world her talents
in the art world.
Myrtle studied art in southern
California
at Palomar Junior College in
San Diego County
for a short time. She had some
very great
and wonderful professors there.
In the middle
of it all, she returned to Michigan
and started
working for the State of Michigan
and raised
a daughter. Myrtle put her art
on hold for
many years until approximately
2003.
Myrtle indicates, “Now I’m back
at it again.
I feel so much more alive whenever
I do anything
with the art world. I love talking
with other
artists, going to galleries and
associating
with everything in the art world.
I get very
excited and full of energy.”
She works in
a variety of mediums.
Myrtle has been a member of the
following:
Mid-Michigan Art Guild and Shiawassee
Art
Council. She has been in several
shows in
the area such as the Christian
Art Show in
East Lansing, Michigan; Mid-Michigan
Art
Guild Shows, Lansing, Shiawassee
Art Center
in Owosso, Hope Borbas Okemos
Library and
Christian Art Show, in Orland
Park, Illinois.
She has taken a few awards for
her abstracts.
Salvador Dali has always been
one of Myrtle’s
favorite artists and has been
a big inspiration
for her abstract painting. She
feels it very
fitting to have her picture on
her home page
at (www.myrtlejoy.com) taken
with a picture
of Salvadore Dali standing in
the background.
Myrtle indicates, “You never
know where you
might find my signature when
looking at my
abstract pictures. It could be
on any corner.
Most of my abstracts can be hung
at any angle
and you will find different pictures
in them
depending which way you hang
it. So don’t
be surprised if you walk into
a gallery someday
and see my signature upside down
in the upper
left hand corner of a picture
or some other
corner besides the right hand
bottom corner.”
Myrtle is very talented and does
a variety
of artwork. She loves to paint
abstract and
scenery. She also enjoys doing
other works
such as designs and still life
or whatever
might hit her mood at a given
moment.
Myrtle would like to thank you
very much
for taking time to read this
article and
hope that you like her artwork
