Raised on ranches in Wyoming and Montana, Joyce Lee became a landscape painter focused on the kind of natural beauty she encountered during her childhood and later as an adult on a ranch in Montana.
She attended college in Billings, Montana, married Charles Lee, and worked as a rancher, training horses and doing field work. Essentially self-taught, she credits she also studied under Ben Steele and credits Clyde Aspevig as a big influence on her work. In 1990 she moved into a studio she and her husband built on the ranch.
She also took art training at Eastern Montana College, Zemsky-Hines Pro Art Workshops, and the Scottsdale Artists School.
"To look at one of Joyce's paintings is to experience the wide-open spaces, the smell of sage, and the power of a horse moving through the landscape. Courage and grace are evident in every brush stroke."
