Joyce Westrop is a contemporary visual artist using bold form and expressive
line, currently examining the world through drawing, printmaking, sculpture and
mixed media.
Art is a journey, whether it is the quest for beauty, exploring emotions or
searching for meaning in the world. The artist’s role is to record this journey
asking questions.
My creations are an invitation for people to think about the world around them
and beliefs that our society has taken for granted. To do this, I ask the viewer
to interpret for themselves various elements of my work. Hopefully this can
lead to a broader questioning of the status quo.
At the University of Ottawa, I participated in various exhibitions and received
awards for creative achievement, graduating with a BFA (magna cum laude) in
2001. I have also taken classes at the Ottawa School of Art in Printmaking.
