About Joyce

Joyce Sumara always had a passion for art but pursued quite a different career in technology.   When she retired a few years ago, she had the time to pursue art once again.   She is driven by the beauty of the Haliburton Ontario landscape where she lives and paints in the summer.    In the winter, she captures images of the Florida Gulf coast; painting seascapes and images from her home town in Venice, Florida.

Joyce has been painting since 2011, studying at Fleming College, Haliburton School of the Arts, the Venice Art Center in Florida, and Carole Finn Art Gallery.   She has sold works through Art on the Dock (an annual art tour on Kennisis Lake, Ontario), and the Carole Finn Art Gallery in Minden Ontario.   Her work has also been shown in the Venice Art Center.  She is a member of The Arts Council of Haliburton Highlands, and the Venice Art Center.
