Jocelyn Boyley Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1932. Came to South Africa as a war evacuee in 1941 with her parents and maternal grandmother. Her father was a professional artist and cartoonist, as well as specialising in portrature and etchings and he was her very early influence. Educated at Roedean school, Johannesburg, where she exelled in art under the guidance of Erica Berry. As a young woman she studied with Walter Battiss in Pretoria and later with Cecily Sash in Johannesburg. She returned to painting in 1976 after her marriage to Errol Boyley, who has been her constant guide these past 30 years. She has sold her work since 1978 and her paintings hang in many private collections in South Africa and elswhere. She works in water-based medium, often acrylic and gouache and gesso painting using conté and pastel for special effects, and the last few years in oils. Jocelyn Boyley paints landscapes, figure studies and flowers but specialises more on flowers in interior settings.
