Meditations on Living... "You went searching sunflowers, Sure of the ripe bloom, Certain that with it's seeds You could sow the sun." Joyce Winslow is an artist and writer in Eugene, Oregon. Her poetry has been published in the Northwest Poets and Artists Calendar and the Northwest Review's Anthology of Eugene Writers. She has published feature articles in various newspapers and periodicals including Southwest Art Magazine, Ceramics Monthly, The Willamette Valley Observer, and the University of Oregon's monthly IT Connection. Winslow studied painting and design at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and developed her silkscreen technique under the mentorship of noted serigrapher Guy MacCoy, who is credited with first introducing silkscreen as an art form in the 1930s. Her work was exhibited in one-person shows in Germany at the Gallery L. Saussele in Bietigheim-Bissingen and the University of Stuttgart in the 1980s. Winslow was a charter member of the Northwest Print Council, which included her prints in traveling exhibitions throughout the U.S. and around the world. Her work is reviewed in the 1989 edition of the California Art Review and in the 1990 edition of American Artists, An Illustrated Survey of Leading Contemporaries.
