Title
Joy Newton Designs Botanical Art and Illustration
Description
Joy Newton is a nationally published artist who grew up immersed in the world of plants. Her father was, and still is, an avid plant collector. His background in science, combined with her mother’s love and appreciation for nature, led her to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Parsons School of Design in New York City. She continued her illustration studies at the Smithsonian’s museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. and then became a contributing artist for National Geographic. She lives in an 18th century Connecticut farmhouse surrounded by beautiful gardens and exterior spaces which she and her husband have lovingly created. As New England winters set in and the gardens slept, Joy looked for ways to bring the beauty of nature indoors. It was here in 1998, that Joy Newton Designs was born. Her studio, a converted barn and workshop are home to her designs.
Each illustration is meticulously reproduced using the finest American and European pigments available. Her extensive fine art education enables her to bring these plants to life using colors running the full range from classic earth pigments to historical mineral colors.
Joy’s decorative art grows from a combination of her training in scientific illustration, which ensures a faithful rendering of the natural subject, employing a sense of light and color that gives great depth and dimension.
