Joyce Nelson
Troweled art and canvas to walls finishes.
Joyce has been a student of art at an early age. Self taught, as well as trained by other professionals, she has mastered numerous 'faux' industry materials and techniques.

Through her Canvas Art Division Joyce will be providing a unique opportunity to explore the creative aspect of going from canvas to walls-walls to canvas.

By using the 'faux' materials and a trowel you will be able to create a 3-dimensional carved piece of art on a canvas! As well as understanding the process needed to transfer the principal application to any wall surface.
