Joyce de Guatemala

Mexican sculptor and printmaker Joyce de Guatemala studied fine arts at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City, and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

De Guatemala was an active member of the Philadelphia Art Alliance, Brandywine Workshop and Archives, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia. She served as the president of the Fine Arts Committee for Patronatos de Bellas Artes, and on the board of directors for the Latin American Guild for the Arts. Her sculpture Hunters of the Dawn is in the collection at Temple University, Philadelphia, where it is installed on campus.

Following her sudden passing in 2000, the Joyce de Guatemala Scholarship Fund was inaugurated in her honor by Brandywine Workshop and Archives. The fund supports visiting women artists at Brandywine Workshop and Archives, providing wider access to resources and opportunities for artists from Latin America disadvantaged due to economic and geographic barriers.
