Gerald Joyce - Painter  

Gerald Joyce
Gerald Joyce attended Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven Connecticut where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Art Education in 1970 and a Masters of Science Degree, also in Art Education, in 1978. Mr. Joyce is an Intermediate School Art Teacher for the Shelton Public School System in Shelton, Connecticut.

Gerald's work has been included in various group shows and competitions including The Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, The New Haven Paint and Clay Club, and The Washington Art Association.


He is currently an active member of the Artwell Gallery in Torrington, Connecticut and The Valley Arts Council in Derby, Connecticut where his work is displayed on a regular basis. His work is in several private collections in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.

"While the body of my work consists primarily of acrylic landscapes, I do not consider myself a Landscape Painter but rather an artist who strives to interpret people and places of 'Character". The tradional pastel colors of cottages in Bermuds, a Viet Nam War Veteran selling hot dogs along the side of the road, or the cement cathedrals of highway bridges and overpasses inspire me to paint them not only for their visual impact but rather for their particular reason for being. What is old was once new and what is new will eventually be old. The full spectrum of their existence is in my mind before, during, and after I have expressed them in my art work".
