In her mixed-media paintings, Joy Broe alternates layers of rich textures, metals, paints and hand-made finishes on wood panels or watercolor paper. Many of her custom works use several layers of oils and acrylics combined with copper and brass to achieve the desired texture and depth—the wood panels are then finished in gallery wrap style designed to hang without frames. Her strong points are design and color, and rather than attempt to capture reality, she strives to impart a sense of tranquility and optimism through her unconventional and distinctive abstract imagery. Broe says that she derives satisfaction from knowing that her art pleases the client and she hopes that its design elements and color compatibility elicit a positive emotional response.
