Joey is an English artist known for her delicate turned wood forms. Her QEST Carpenters’ Company Scholarship funded development studies in America where she learnt to cast her wooden forms in glass, creating a new and exciting concept. This generated a wealth of opportunities to evolve her wood turning and experiment with mixed media. Augmenting her craft skills with a theoretical depth, she gained an MA in Fine Art (2018).
Nature and more specifically, wood, is the driving force in Joey’s sculptural practice. It informs her themes and guides her expressions. To Joey, there is no greater manifestation of life abundant. Wood warms and restores the soul.
Her sculptures are held in numerous permanent and private collections and she lectures and demonstrates her techniques globally. She has been awarded the QEST Award of Excellence (2015) and made a Court Assistant of the Turners’ Company.
