Joy Price

Artist Statement

“When I was young and foolish, and painfully shy, growing up in rural Oregon, I thought all I wanted to do was draw and paint and read science fiction, but then I got to high school and found I was too busy doing what was necessary to get into college, and in college what was necessary to get into medical school.  And after that I was just too busy period.  As a radiologist in Berkeley I interpreted hundreds of images a day but made precious few, and those were on film.

Now that I am old and still foolish and painfully shy, having retired to Weed, all I want to do is draw and paint and read mysteries.  But with hiking and skiing and gardening and chasing the deer out of the yard I find I still don’t have enough time.  So I do my best, taking as many classes as I can and trying as many different media as I can.  Watercolor is my favorite, but everything else I have tried (acrylics, printmaking, life drawing, papermaking, soapstone, warm glass) comes a close second.”
