Becky Joye finds inspiration in observing the human-made amidst the natural landscape: communication towers rising in the sky, construction cranes holding materials in balance, and industrial creatures hiding on rooftops. Ordinary structures become vehicles of her imagination for images that tell stories and imbue emotions of the human experience using the interaction of color and pattern. In her minimal mixed-media compositions she uses tapes, rulers, and templates to create clean edges and meticulous details, inspired by the flattened elevations found in architectural or engineering drawings.
Becky Joye is a visual artist based in Raleigh, NC. Becky was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Bachelor of Architecture. Now she enjoys escaping to an invented world of color, pattern, and impracticable structures. Her work has a happy home in the collections of Fidelity Investments, Capital One, the City of Raleigh, and UVA Hospital.
