Joyce J. Scott is a dynamic artist and performer, best known for her use of beadwork as her artistic medium of choice. Scott is esteemed for her technical skills, transforming the rich tradition of beadwork with her own interpretations of the peyote stitch. She pushes the boundaries of beadwork, reflecting a narrative of what it means to be Black in America.
Throughout her illustrious career Scott has garnered numerous accolades, including a McArthur Fellowship (2016) and four honorary doctorates. Mobilia Gallery has represented and exhibited Scott’s work for over 40 years.
