Joy Rave
Joy Rave is a
native of Beaufort. Inspired by the beautiful views from her waterfront home, she
began drawing at an early age. For years she had private lessons, with oil as
her primary medium; at age 13, Joy won her first award.
Always searching
for new avenues of expression, Joy spent time studying graphic arts, interior
design, stained glass, and art history.
After a sabbatical raising a family and
traveling the country during her husband’s Army career, Joy found a new passion
creating abstract works using alternative processes. With acrylics on canvas – she
drips, pours, splashes, pools, and scrapes the surface – striving to capture emotions
through brilliant color.
