Joyce Schaunaman earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1979. Joyce also earned her Master of Interdisciplinary Education in 2000 from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Joyce Schaunaman's original style of art is impressionistic. Joyce paints plein air, or on location, to capture the bright tropical sunlight shining in places on Maui. Joyce's art work includes drawings, watercolor paintings, oil paintings, and prints. Inspired to create portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, Joyce has been committed to her artistic development and art making. In 1992 her work was selected for the Artists of Hawai’i exhibition at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. In 1989, Joyce’s painting “Lahaina Harbor” won the first annual Lahaina Town Action Committee Poster Contest. Also, Joyce’s art work has been selected for numerous Art Maui juried exhibitions. Joyce has been a member of Lahaina Arts Society since 1982. Joyce has been a Grant Writer, Outreach Art Project Coordinator, Art Teacher, and volunteer for the organization. Recently, Joyce helped teach art for children at on location Paint-outs for the Lahaina Arts Guild.
