"I am Joyce Geleynse and I live in rural Ontario, Canada.  I have been an artist for over thirty years, creating hundreds of custom portraits, paintings, and illustrations in the realism style.  Working with pencil, oil pastel, and color pencils as my main tools, I love to create realistic drawings as well as images found only in my imagination.  I have four stores on Etsy: Toadstoolprintables is the one where I sell my clipart and outline drawings,Freshairprintables is the store where I sell my detailed, realism drawings, as well as printable bookmarks and greeting cards; I sell my actual physical prints and originals via my CountryArt Studio Store, and in my fourth store I sell my original line of hand-sculpted clay babies.  I have five grown children and 17 grandchildren so my life is full of God's blessings!!"
