Joyce Westner

49-year-resident of Winchester, Joyce started painting botanical art when she was nearing retirement about ten years ago.  Botanical art is a botanically accurate plant portrait with aesthetic sensibilities, and for a few years Joyce was president of the New England Society of Botanical Artists. 

A retired technical training developer and manager, Joyce has a degree in journalism and in 2024, she and a group of volunteers started Winchester News (www.WinchesterNews.org), a free non-profit digital newspaper.
