Joyce Clements Sculptor PO Box 324 Bolinas CA 94924 415-868-1008
Joyce Clements says she was born under a slew of lucky stars. She was in fact born on July 4th in Washington DC. Raised in Arlington VA by two hard-working parents, who held down day jobs and also owned a variety store, she was free to explore the world around her unfettered by very many “shoulds or woulds.” Joyce got from her father physical and mechanical skills and from her mother a zest for living, which has meant that she is game for most anything, anywhere, at anytime. She graduated from Duke University and has a Masters Degree from the University of Maryland and a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley.
After Berkeley, Joyce worked in the San Francisco Bay Area and moonlighted by designing and making art jewelry. Then she and a partner bought, renovated and ran a custom-design jewelry store whose stock was created primarily by her. Joyce turned to art and sculpture full-time in the 1990s.
Today she lives and works primarily in steel on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in Bolinas, a rural town north of San Francisco. Her studio opens onto a one-acre sculpture garden where she shows her work. She has work in many private collections and two museums. When she is not welding or painting, she can be seen driving her red truck to the steel yard or running errands on her red, white and blue Vespa.
