Josy’s work has been published in International Artist’s Magazine in the Canadian Showcase for Master Painters of the World and as a featured artist, in the book, 100 Ways to Paint Favourite Subjects, and in Watercolor Magic Magazine as the 2005 Watermedia Showcase first prize recipient for landscapes.

Josy lives in an oak savannah forest adjacent to Pinery Provincial Park. The family, whose members are all involved in the arts, also enjoys camping and canoe tripping. Josey is constantly inspired by miracles in nature and compelled to paint and share her eyes’ interpretation with others. She often paints a close-up point-of-view, breaking the painting into jewels of colour in a mosaic technique originally inspired by her love of impressionism. When you understand Josey’s paintings, it will change the way you see when you walk through the woods.
