Joey Lancaster

Joey Lancaster, a self-taught artist from Fort Worth, strives for experience and joy through the beauty of art. 25 years in the decorative arts, studying in NYC and Southern California, laid the foundation, exposure and opportunity to master a multitude of mediums with sometimes orthodox but often unorthodox applications. This exposure led ultimately to plaster as her medium of choice. This "old" material contrasts perfectly with her modern vision of nature. Plaster intrinsically allows for thick and smooth, refined or distressed, delicate or wild strokes... much like the artist herself. Her isolation of the subject; just the bark of the aspens, just the petals of a flower... no leaves or landscapes, allows their simplicity yet complicated beauty shine through.
