Joyce T. Macrorie earned an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and began her career in painting and printmaking in the 60’s. She combined marriage, children, teaching and writing for newspapers and magazines with her artwork. After moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1979 she exhibited with the Muson Gallery for many years and subsequently with Waxlander and Running Ridge Galleries. She also enjoyed a long tenure at the Joyce Petter Gallery in Saugatuck MI. In 2002, seeking contemplative quiet, she moved south to Las Cruces, NM. Her current work incorporates a love of landscape with a long-time fascination: views from above, from a real or imagined plane. Many of these paintings are small, but all of them seem big.

Currently, Joyce lives in an 1872 adobe home and attached gallery in the Mesquite Historic District of Las Cruces, NM. Her print shop is in a new, adjacent building where etchings, woodcuts and monotypes are printed on a Tackach press. She exhibites in invitational shows and in her own gallery, and continues to work six days a week. She welcomes inquiries and is happy to provide additional information and prices about past, present and future work.
