Joyce Billet

Joyce Billet is a French-American artist living and working in Miami, FL. Her background in architecture has encouraged her to play with material and scale in an effort to mix the sensations of painting and sculpture. Adhering to a strong craft tradition, she employs plywood as her main material and challenges the evolutionary trajectory it has undergone in the process. Billet embodies each piece with value and meaning, and in doing so, the highly industrialized plywood once stripped of identity and connection to nature, is repurposed in a second life. Billet graduated with a Bachelor’s in Architecture from Pratt Institute in 2008, and later received a Master of Science degree in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in 2010. Before committing to her artistic practice full-time, Billet worked as an architect. She has been featured in multiple exhibitions between Miami and New York, working with curators such as Karen Grimson, Omar Lopez Chahoud, Heather Darcy Bandhari, and others.
