About Joyce Schwartz

Inspired by the “Beauty and Magic” of Nature, Joyce creates “Earth Mandalas” with acrylic paint on wood. 

Ever since she can remember, she’s played with creativity in the forms of stained glass, building things from wood, driftwood and so many other forms of art. 

She especially enjoys bringing and sharing this creativity with children of all ages. Workshops and working one-on-one with children are some of her most precious memories. Children inspire her to “slow down” and see the detail and the intricacies that we may miss in our busy lives. Children are in many ways “organic by nature”. 

Living in the Silverton area for over 30 years has inspired her to create and play with artistic form. Now, with a big move from Nelson to Silverton on a piece of land, she hopes to tap into that on an even deeper realm of creativity, and to “play” in this space.
