Art Exhibit: Joy SouthFox
"Welcome to My World" runs September 22nd through December 1st
“Welcome to My World,” an art exhibit by Joy SouthFox, opens with a reception September 22nd at The Galleria at The Forum and runs through December 1st, presented by the Arts Council of Wichita Falls. For quite a while I’ve been following Joy on several Instagram accounts where she posts her art from time to time, and I ducked into her DMs to ask her a few questions about her approaching show.
FUSE: Joy, what are we going to see at your show?
JSF: Hopefully me not standing in a corner trying to hide! I wanted to show things I enjoy about our world, in a simple way. Things that make me happy. And I hope those that visit the opening, see something that can make them smile. There will be more animal pieces than anything else. With a few pieces of scenery and people.
FUSE: What medium do you enjoy the most?
JSF: Acrylics! I first started out using oils, but the drying time was not something I enjoyed. It takes too long for a project to be finished.
FUSE: Your subject matter varies quite a bit... is there a reason for that, and do you have a "wheelhouse" so-to-speak, a subject that you favor?
JSF: I have always favored animals. Fur, feathers, fins and scales. Animals have kept the innocence of nature within them. I still marvel at the ability they have to live freely upon the earth. And not once taking more than they need to exist.
FUSE: Is your art also available to order online?
JSF: Yes, The Forum will have each piece listed, with information and prices.
Joy tells me they’ll be serving wine, soda, and water at the reception “along with hors d'oeuvres and probably cookies or something like that for kids. But if adults like cookies they can have them too.”
Good. I want one of those cookies. 😆🍪
