About
Joyce Billet (b. Paris, France) is a French-American artist living and working in Miami, FL. Her background in architecture has encouraged her to play with material and textures in an effort to mix the sensations of painting and sculpture. By questioning material, process, and purpose, Billet’s work presents a dialogue between the analog and the digital via themes surrounding nature, absence, and materiality. Central to Billet’s practice is a desire to foster conversations about how humanity can coexist with nature while embracing technology.
Billet was invited as a Special Project two years in a row at Untitled Art Fair, Miami Beach, 2021 and 2022. She was awarded an Art in Public Places opportunity from the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs in 2023, and an artist residency accompanied by a solo exhibition in the Miami Design District in 2024.
Billet graduated with a Bachelor’s in Architecture from Pratt Institute in 2008, and later a Master of Science degree in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in 2010. She has worked at firms such as Norman Foster in London, UK and Studio Daniel Libeskind, New York. Billet was the Director of Store Design at CHANEL from 2013 – 2018 before committing to her artistic practice full-time.
