Joy Parks Coats
While some artists may view the world as horrible and ugly, I do not
like to paint "ugly" art. Like literature, I believe that art should
be a form of "escape" from the ugliness of the world. I like to evoke a pleasant
emotion through my art (such as a happy memory or a sense of deja vu)....
I also like to travel-I am inspired by colorful Caribbean sunsets,
palm trees blowing in the breeze, ocean tides, Tuscany hill towns, or even a dead tree hanging onto the side of a cliff at the Grand Canyon ....
I seldom paint people in my art as I like the viewers to imagine
themselves in my place, seeing what I am seeing and feeling what I am
feeling. I enjoy the solitude of a beautiful sunset or ocean waves roaring to the shore.
I married in 2013 and moved from Raleigh to the coastal North Carolina. My
husband is a building contractor and built a beautiful art studio for
me in our home and allowed me to "retire" at an early age from my
life as a paralegal.
I attended East Carolina University School of Art in Greenville, NC,
as a painting major with a drawing minor.
