Joyce Thomas is an award-winning, bestselling author, artist, and speaker living in her hometown, New York City. The city’s ongoing innovation is a great source of inspiration and motivation for her. Her background is primarily in illustration and design—predominantly in the fashion sector—and in graphic design for a variety of industries. She loves to design and illustrate just about everything—from fashion to textiles to home decor and beyond.

Joyce also loves to travel and learn about different cultures and customs. Languages are one of her many interests, and she tries to learn as many phrases as she can in each country she visits.

Joyce is a leader in her church and a lifelong student of the Bible. Her greatest passion is getting to know God and His extravagant love in ever-increasing ways—and inviting others to join her.
