Joyce Fournier is a Toronto based Portrait and Figurative Artist who categorizes her work as a combination of Impressionism and Contemporary Realism executed in several media to include oil, acrylic, and charcoal. Having a strong passion for interpreting the human expression, Joyce is a member of the Portrait Society of America and the Founder of the International Guild of Figurative Art. While drawing and painting the human form is her first passion, Joyce often finds it exciting to dabble with expressionist Florals and to revisit the Landscape, her original artistic interest.  

Over the last decade Joyce has exhibited in several solo and group shows within Canada and internationally.  She recently returned from Italy where her works were part the Symphony of Colours international exhibition held at the Duomo Auditorium, Florence in December 2011. She is the recipient of an Award of Excellence from Art Domain Gallery as part of the 2008 Palm Art Award Exhibition for her work ‘In Blue’, Leipzig Germany and most recently a second place Prize of Excellence for ART NOW 3 - The 3rd Annual Juried Contemporary Art Online Competition /Exhibition 2008-2009 from Artoteque based London England for her work ‘The Promise’

Joyce’s Landscapes, Figurative works and commissioned portraits are found in private and public collections in Canada, the USA, and Europe.  She is the owner / curator of STUDIO VOGUE GALLERY in Toronto, representing over 30 artists from Canada and around the world. Her work has been featured on several occasions in the prestigious American Art Collector magazine since 2009.
