Joie Villeneuve, originally from Minnesota, USA, is a passionate, award-winning visual artist with over three decades of creative exploration. After earning her Bachelor of Fine Art from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, Joie made a bold move to Australia in 2008 and now brings her artistic vision to life from her studio in Mandurah, Western Australia.

She blends texture, colour, and materials in dynamic ways, creating pieces that are both thought-provoking and visually captivating. Her diverse practice spans painting, sculpture, printmaking, bookmaking, and installation art, each piece inviting the viewer to engage up close and discover new layers of meaning.
Joie’s mixed-media approach draws on the beauty of nature and the power of symbolism, weaving them into an intricate tapestry of exploration that continues to evolve. Whether you’re looking at her vibrant paintings or engaging with one of her immersive installations, Joie’s work offers a space for reflection, connection, and discovery.
