Becky Joye finds inspiration from ordinary and everyday objects and structures. These discoveries become vehicles for her imagination to create miniature landscapes that invite play, comfort, and delight through the interplay of color and pattern. In her meticulous constructions, she combines the order of architectural elevation drawings with the organic element of a hand-made quilt through the application of machine-sewn fabrics, found paper bits and bobs, paint, and pencil on paper. 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.
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.
