2008 UPDATED ARTIST STATEMENT AND BIOGRAPHY FOR BAL WEBSITE


 Joyce Patterson
Original Cloth Doll Artist


     Artist Statement


Ever since I first noticed the wonderful dolls being made by several cloth doll artists in the early 1990’s, I have been intrigued with what can be done with some fabric, a little stuffing and imagination.  Although I have studied sculpting dolls in polymer clay, I find working with fabric gives me the most enjoyment.   After nearly 20 years and almost 850 dolls, I still look forward to sitting down at my sewing machine to begin a new character.  I try to pass a little of this enjoyment along with each doll that I create.  It is my hope that they bring a smile to all who see them.

                    Biography

Joyce Patterson’s original, one-of-a-kind, cloth character dolls (FabricImages by Joyce) have appeared in many U. S. and International juried exhibits and competitions resulting in more than 100 ribbons and awards and numerous appearances in magazines and books.  She sells her dolls at national and international shows and in some shops and galleries.  Joyce also accepts commissions and invites inquiries.

Her professional associations include the Original Doll Artists Council of America (ODACA), the Texas Association of Original Doll Artists (TAODA), the Professional Doll Makers Art Guild, and the International Association of Doll Artists (IADA).  In addition to membership in the Brazosport and Galveston Art Leagues and the Lone Star Art Guild, she is also a member of the Brazoria County Doll Club, which is affiliated with the international United Federation of Doll Clubs, Inc. (UFDC).

Joyce's most recent honor was at the Brazosport Art League’s 2008 Open Juried Show where she received second place in the 3-Dimensional category with her dolls titled, "Girlfriends."

Joyce graduated from Brazosport High School and retired after more than 30 years with Dow Chemical.  She and her husband, Wilbert, live in Brazoria where they are enjoying their retirement with beloved pets, Missy, Max, Molly and Tom.
