Bio for Joy Lamb

Although watercolor is her passion, Joy enjoys art in all forms. She has won awards at the Virgin Valley Art Guild, the Moapa Valley Art Guild, and the Clark County Fair. Her art is often featured at the Nevada State Lost City Museum in Overton, NV.

Having moved residences 21 times in her life, she has learned to see and find art everywhere. Growing up, her family was always creating. Her mother used sewing to create beautiful items, and her father painted wall murals. When her family moved from Chicago (after a short time in Minnesota), they embarked on a three-month cross-country travel-trailer trip that led them to California. She graduated from San Diego State University and later earned her MBA.

Joy married her high school sweetheart (Neil), and together, they raised two children. Now, they are happy to see their twin granddaughters as often as possible. For many years, Joy taught in elementary schools and during that time was asked to and did run an outdoor education grades. When living in Washington state, she became interested in computer work and became a technical writer for Computer Sciences Corporation. This job involved a lot of travel throughout the U.S. while teaching software programs. Traveling is a part of her life; she has visited Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, England, Panama, Scotland, Germany, Greece, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. She enjoys the local art everywhere. Native arts and crafts became an interest on trips. Rockhunting and outdoor life is a lifetime hobby for her family.

Joy currently lives in Logandale, Nevada, with her husband and is an active member of Moapa Valley Art Guild and Virgin Valley Art Association (serving as Communications Chair for 2023).
