Joyce Greenberg

Joyce has been creating art since her teens. She has worked with oils, stone and photography and graduated with a BFA and from Brooklyn College. As a young mother of three, she began teaching, ultimately getting a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education and working in special education for over twenty years. Upon retirement, she began taking watercolor classes and found an immediate connection to the medium. A native New Yorker, Joyce currently resides in Providence.

Jill Derrig Rossi 

While Jill is new to watercolor, she has always had a spark of creativity in everything—from planning travel to hosting gatherings; from floral arranging to designing large-scale events. Growing up on the East Side, Jill learned drawing, painting and carving with artist Mr. Gino Conti, went to RISD museum art classes learning oil pastels, and attended Looking Glass Theater art events. Having an eclectic and creative career over the years has led her to return to her artistic beginnings. Now, in retired life, Jill has rekindled her love of creating—painting, pottery, and photography—all while traveling the globe. Now with the hustle-bustle and stresses of a career and raising a family are behind her; she loves to focus on creating art not only as a documented memory of her travels, but a wonderfully enjoyable way to slow down, find the beauty, and create.
