Joy Engelman is a well known artist who has lived in the Central West of New South Wales in Australia for most of her life. Her arts career spans over 50 years and she has been awarded and exhibited many, many times here in Australia and overseas.
A survey of her work was held in Gallery One at the Orange Regional Gallery in 2010.

​

She has explored the back roads and wild places since her mother started taking her on journeys as a child and has painted with a love of Australia since.

Engelman’s interests lay in the use and abuse of the environment as she has watched with dismay the desecration and loss of forest and landscape over her life.

Now retired, she works on her art only occasionally and when inspired or feeling the creative urge rise and push to be quietened.

​

Engelman was brought to international attention when she was awarded a Medici Medal in Florence, Italy in 2007 and since then has been invited to exhibit in many international shows. The ones that Engelman has chosen to be a part of are focused on environmental issues which are close to her heart and her art.

​

Engelman has been exhibited in:

Australian National Library, Canberra in 2007

Fortezza di Basso Firenze in 2007

Castle Estense Italy in 2009

Niagara Falls Museum Canada in 2018

Maya Museum, Cancun Mexico in 2022

Casoria Contemporary Museum Naples Italy in 2022

Her works are collected and are included in many collections both nationally and internationally.
