New Piece   "PRECIOUS" now available on sculpture page.

Joelle started a small sculpture of a donkey during Nicholas Fine Art Gallery's Spring opening.  This bronze is now available. 

Just days before Joelle lost her long battle with cancer, she received word that she had been invited to participate in the June 2006 Prix de West Invitation Art Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.  This had been her dream.  Joelle's sculpture "Waitin" was auctioned during the awards banquet at "Prix de West" to benefit the Museum for $28,000.  A full page tribute and memorial for Joelle was printed in the Prix de West Catalog.

.Bo gave birth to a stud colt in June 2003…a dark chestnut that we call Diego. He has been a source of great entertainment, and he has been the subject of paintings. Click here to see more pictures of Diego.

Joelle was the guest of Nate and TJ Wald at the Traditional Cowboy Artists (TCAA) show in Oklahoma City in September 2003. Then she went on a trip to Arizona with Sheri Greves Neilson, where they attended the Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) show, and toured the galleries in October 2003. It was the first time for Joelle to attend both of these shows, and she came back thoroughly inspired.

Sally went on a trip to Ireland in September 2003. Son Paul had been working at a job over in Cork, and he sent a ticket for Sally to come visit. She was over there for 3 weeks, and her friend Wronda was there for 2 of those weeks. Click here to see more pictures of Sally's trip to Ireland

The 2004 brought the release of Wylie & the Wild West’s new album titled "Hooves of the Horses."  Joelle did a painting of Wylie and one of his horses (at left) for the cover of the album. Click here for more info on Wylie and the Wild West and more info on the new album. 

Joelle did two drawings for the 2004 and 2005 Western Horseman calendars.  Her drawings will also be in the 2006 and 2007 calendars.  They asked a group of artists to do the drawings for the calendar, including Joelle, Bob "Shoofly" Shufelt, Bruce Greene, and Sheri Greves-Neilson.  

Joelle did the painting for the 2003 Santa Clarita Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival. This is the second year Joelle has done the poster for the event. To see the poster click here.

 Joelle started back into sculpture in February 2002. She had not done any sculpture since college and had been itching to get back into it. She did a little piece of George, the first pony she had as a child.

 Here he is in the finished bronze, "Georgie".

Since then,  Joelle had taken several pieces to Art Castings of Montana Inc. in Belgrade, to cast in bronze.  Click here to see the new Sculpture Page.

February 2002 marked the third  Western Horseman  cover for Joelle in 25 months.  They used "Starting Teddi" for the cover, featuring Joel Sheridan from Agua Dulce. The first image they used was "Time to Rebuild" on their February 2000 cover, followed by "Danny" on the March 2001 cover.

The new home of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame is now open in the cultural district of Fort Worth, Texas. They asked Joelle, as well as several other artists, to create 3 x 4’ paintings to be part of the first exhibit in the flexible exhibit space in the Museum starting in June 2002, and displayed until September 8, 2002. The paintings from the exhibit were then auctioned, with proceeds to be donated to the Museum, November 14, 2002. Joelle’s work for the Museum is "True Companions", and is of Joelle on Kedda, with Maggie and Mikki. This image is now available in a poster for the Museum. To see the poster click here.
