...I studied painting at the École Nationale Superieure des Beaux-arts in Paris, and at the City College of New York... I've decided to house a lot of the images of my work at Flickr, as well as some source imagery for projects... This is my more informal website. I'm represented by Winkleman Gallery, New York: winkleman.com

I also edit a blog called NEWSgrist - "where spin is art": newsgrist.typepad.com

My work hovers around the issue of mediation and visual narratives. I am drawn to representations of the "apocalyptic-sublime". My source imagery comes from photographs that I sample from the internet. Each painting is done in one go, almost like a performance. It interests me that art and documentary methodologies seem to be pitted against each other...

On the subject of painting and appropriating news images, read my February '06 interview with Lyra Kilston in prep for her insightful article, Artists and Photojournalism, published in the journal ArtL!es in September 2006, or my Image Junkie article on NYFA Current (2005).

    "I just came across her work by coincidence with google imagesearch and I'am really impressed by her pictures and style. It's hard to find the right words. Her pictures seem emotional but are at the same time a bit cool and 'detached'.
    Well before I go in to much blabla. I love your work Joy!"
