Joyce Majiski is a professional artist and has lived in the Yukon Territory since 1984. From the mid 80’s-2000, Joyce focused on print and paper making, creating and exhibiting work in printmaking studios in Canada and overseas. During this time she also worked as a field biologist and wilderness guide in the Yukon. The shift to full time art started in 2000. Majiski began exploring a broad range of media while focusing on multi-media projects and installations.

Joyce has been invited to multiple artists residences in 11 countries and has toured her own solo exhibitions in Canada, Mexico, the US and Europe. She is the instigator of programs such as the Artist in the Park program in Ivvavik National Park, Art Under Pressure Giant Steam roller print event and other local and international art projects. She is the creator of three permanent installations in Whitehorse. Joyce has active collaborative projects in addition to her own practice and currently works out of her Tuktu Studio near Whitehorse.
