Joyce Redweik Biography
Being awarded Mesquite Fine Art Gallery's Card Artist of the month is an honor.
First, thank you to all who purchase a card. A person purchasing my art is the biggest compliment I can receive.
I also realize that people take time to purchase a card for someone else. They want that "just perfect" card, and I consider it an honor to be the artist of that special card. I watched my mom purchase cards for family and friends. She would look at every card in the store to find that "just perfect" card. She put a lot of thought into buying a card, and it wasn't something she would rush through. It had to be perfect.
Most of the cards I create use the art form many call "Doodling." Since I live in a beautiful desert, I try incorporating the desert theme into many of my cards. The cards are copies of my original ink doodle, but I want to make my cards a little different, so I added bling. Who doesn't like bling? After printing, I will sometimes add some color to each card. I feel these little additions make the cards fun and unique. Some of my cards are from photographs I have taken. I have made copies of a few of my graphite drawings.
I enjoy sharing my love of doodling with a group of artists who meet once a month at the gallery. We have a fun group of creative people who inspire each other.
Again, thank you for your purchase.
