Featured Artist
Becky Joye is a visual artist and designer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. She was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Bachelor of Architecture in 2003, with full intention of becoming an architect.
After coming to her senses in 2009, she shifted course to focus on drawing and making. Now she enjoys escaping to an invented world of color, pattern, and impracticable structures.
Becky finds inspiration in observing the overlooked man-made landscape: grand communication towers, worn empty signs, and concrete silos from the car window. With these ordinary utilitarian
structures she conceives a story, a character, or emotion to portray and evokes a response within the viewer.
Her current work, Amusement, began by discovering a carnival ferris wheel by the interstate and experiencing the youthful feeling of excitement that she associated with amusement parks.
Through referencing carnival and amusement ride structures
and the playful objects of childhood, this work is exploring the nostalgic euphoria of spectacle and amusement and instigating the viewer's desire for secape, thrill, and play.
