He is also a resident artist at Altasea, a local non-profit dedicated to ocean research and climate-change mitigation.

As a temporary resident of Angels Gate Cultural Center, she is working on a steel and glass sculpture to be installed at the Claremont Metro Station. Joyce has previously completed other public art projects, including a Fulbright Project in Zimbabwe, where she collaborated with workers in a Ceramics factory to build a public sculpture related to the AIDS pandemic. Joyce received her Master’s Degree from Cal State Fullerton (where she first met Larry Lubow). She retired from teaching Ceramics at Cal State University, Bakersfield, shortly before the Eaton fire.
