Joyce Howell: Solo Show . March 1-30, 2025
On March 1st, 2025, Wally Workman Gallery is pleased to present a solo show with abstract painter Joyce Howell. Howell’s palette is informed by nature and its flux between calm and chaos, creating what she describes as loose landscapes. She describes the process as an ongoing conversation. An intuitive painter, each color and mark applied to the canvas informs the next; colors give the impression of physical weight and become instruments, much as in a musical composition. As the work progresses, the painting becomes a collaboration, a dialogue between Howell and the canvas.
Joyce Howell lives and works in the Austin, Texas area.
Established in 1980 and located in a 120 year old historic house, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent.
