Biography 
Joyce Fournier is a Landscape and Portrait Artist, born and raised in Montreal.
As a child, Joyce loved to draw and was fascinated with the way places and people changed with the variations in light. While art has always been a major influence in her life, Joyce initially pursued careers first in Health Care and then in Business. Today, she is happy to be pursuing her art full time.
Joyce first studied Landscape painting at the Buckhorn School of Fine Art where she developed her skills as a ‘pallet knife’ painter. Since then she has expanded her artistic creativity at the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto where she is learning the secrets of the Old Masters, both in figure drawing and painting.

Joyce’s work can be categorized as a combination of Impressionism and Contemporary Realism consisting of landscapes, architecture and figurative works executed in several different media, including oils, carbon pencil and graphite. She has traveled extensively and much of her work is the result of inspiration from abroad.

Joyce has been fortunate to receive several commissions over the years to include personalized landscape paintings, portraits, book illustrations, and most recently a commemorative drawing for the Canadian Military. She is a juried member of the Portrait Society of Canada.

Joyce has exhibited in several group and solo shows in Toronto and Montreal over the last five years with her first international exhibition at the prestigious Florence Biennale in December 2007. Future shows will include her participation in the Artist Project juried exhibition to take place at Toronto’s Liberty Grand Ballroom in March of 2008 as well as the Palm Art Award Finalist Exhibition to be held in Leipzig Germany in October 2008.
 Style Impressionism
An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
