THE FRAMING ALONE IS WORTH OVER $150! ABOUT THE ARTIST Born in Steveston, B.C., and raised in Japan, J oyce Kamikura is a highly accomplished Canadian visual artist. In her childhood, she spent the first four years of her life in the internment camp, Lemon Creek, BC, before relocating to Japan. As a teenager, Joyce moved back to Canada, moving first to Montreal for two years before settling in Richmond. Joyce’s entrance into the art world was relatively late, however the degree of her mastery has given her international recognition not only in Canada, but also in the United States and Australia. A master of media, she is proficient in oils, collage, acrylic, mixed media, and watercolors. Her use of the latter is recognized internationally, and the bright hues are juxtaposed with a transparency in pigment that speaks to her Japanese heritage. The subjects in her paintings range from landscapes and florals to people, and in Joyce’s process of painting, each subject comes forth to elicit a distinct response from within her.
