Come visit Joyful at her temporary studio during her Artist Residency at the Mystic Seaport Museum.

She will be working on a special project inspired by a trip to Tonga in the fall of 2023 to study Humpback Whales.

This residency is sponsored by the Center for American Marine Art.

The Center for American Marine Art is dedicated to bringing endangered historic American marine art to the forefront of our identity as a country through documenting and imaging works using the most advanced cultural heritage technology and techniques, creating a free database featuring high-resolution 3D images for use by museums, scholars and the public, and developing virtual and national traveling exhibitions
