Joyce Kolenbrander is a Chicago native who has lived, worked and shown art in New York (Including at the Agora Gallery in Soho), New Jersey, Illinois and Iowa. Her art hangs in assorted offices and homes around the country. Now retired, she lives and works in Pella, Iowa. She works with ink, oil, graphite, watercolor, montage, wood and photography—whatever a given subject seems to require.
"Everywhere I look; I see form and light worthy of expression in drawing and painting. In certain kinds of light, even the mundane and boring become interesting, striking and beautiful. Doing art has been part of who I am since very young. Drawing, painting and other creativeresponses to life and “stuff” around me are a necessary part of the rhythm of my life."
