Joyce Ferraro has had an eye for Art since she was a little girl. Her neighbor taught her to SEE and helped her to develop her talent in drawing. She went on to take classes in Advertising Art before she married and raised 3 daughters--which left little time for Art.

Much later she entered college and took classes in various mediums.  She ended up liking oils the best. At her daughter's request, she began to paint dog portraits in oils which she took commissions for and did very well.

While in Florida she took lessons from "Who’s Who in Art," Gregory Graham Grant, Portrait Artist, founder and owner of the "Artquest School of Art & Design." While there she entered a juried show and won an Honorable Mention for one of her paintings.

Since moving to California, she has become interested in Watercolors and found a great teacher in Edward Moores. In her lessons she has learned a great deal from this challenging medium and is really enjoying painting with the watercolors that she has grown to love.

She is a member of the Vista Art Foundation and is currently showing her work in "Gallery 204" on Main Street in downtown Vista.
