Life

Hall was born in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1943.[1] She earned a diploma from the Alberta College of Art (now Alberta University of the Arts) in Calgary in 1965.[2]

Hall lived in Calgary for almost 40 years. She and her husband, artist John Hall, also owned a home in San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico, where they spent half of the year during the 1990s.[2][3] In 1999, they moved to West Kelowna, in the Okanagan region of British Columbia.[2][4]

Career

Hall has earned recognition for her landscape paintings, often using a panoramic format.[3][4] A 2001 review in the Calgary Herald wrote that Hall's work appears to explore "the representation of male and female in nature and culture".[4]

Hall's work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (1976); the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario (1977); and the Whyte Museum in Banff, Alberta (1979).[1]

Hall's first solo exhibition was held at the Off Centre Centre in Calgary in 1981.[5] The exhibit featured paintings of male nudes.[5]

In 2000, Hall was elected to membership in the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.[3] In 2010, Patricia Ainsley curated for the Kelowna Art Gallery in British Columbia a 40-year retrospective exhibition of her work, titled Surreal, Real, Ideal: The Art of Joice M. Hall.[6]
