Josey Prior

Josey grew up in Naples, FL - a child drawn to all things art. She’s dabbled in just about everything from sewing to sculpture to origami. After her time studying Fine Arts at Amherst College she landed on traditional printmaking and oil painting as her true art loves. She finds inspiration all around her in the beauty flora and fauna of Southwest Florida. Although Josey's art is so colorful, so evocative of joy and life, she has struggled her entire adult life with mental illness. Diagnosed at age 19 with Schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder, her art has been her savior - her passion to keep going on some of the darkest days.
