Joyce Bantock Wall Art

Joyce Bantock was born in Edinburgh. She was raised in Vancouver and went to Art College, both at Ravensbourne and at Canterbury. Upon received her Bachelor of Arts in Textile Design, she went on to work in Great Portland Street, London, at a design studio. In those days, all designs were meticulously painted by hand on paper with gouache. From her perspective, it was a difficult task but produced elegant art, and she truly loved the hard deadlines imposed by the studio. Invention and variety were at the best and as a result they were encouraged to pour out a never-ending stream of ever changing designs. The freedom and the friendly environment gave them an opportunity to exercise their creativity to the fullest.

She says that today textile design has gone digital, but for her the mechanical and traditional way of doing things holds little pleasure, so for the time being she has turned her attentions to acrylics, old papers and mixed media. The works she produces today represent the boundless potential that a more hands-on approach of pattern offers to the craft. Her skills include Art, Fine Art, Visual Arts, Painting, and Drawing. She currently works with Nick Bantock Author/Artist as an artist assistant. She began working here in 2000. Joyce loves her work and can not exchange it for any other work. She has big dreams that she hopes to achieve as years pass by. She combines passion, education and experience to give the clients what they need.
