Joyce TURNER (1920-2020) Plaka Oil on board Signed 42 x 59cm Joyce Turner was an abstract artist who painted up until her death two years ago, at the age of 100. Her earliest artistic discipline came from the intricate drawings required of her as an Admiralty illustrator during WW2. After the war, her work evolved into abstraction and she studied further at the City Institute in London. She had a number of exhibitions, including a major retrospective at Guildford House Gallery in Surrey, one-woman shows in Manchester and Leatherhead, a shared show at the Metropole Arts Centre in Folkestone, and participation in London exhibitions at the Barbican, Conway Hall and Guildhall Gallery. She was also invited to exhibit 24 works on the Saatchi online gallery. Blindness was her greatest dread, and as she became older glaucoma affected her vision. Life without colour would have been unbearable. All profits from her paintings will therefore be donated to charities helping people with impaired sight.
