Lorie
Elvis Presley grew up in a two-room plank house in Tupelo, Mississippi. His parents remembered how even
as a youngster he would talk about the day when he would make a lot of money. His dream was to buy his parents
the finest house in town and end their long years of hard work and financial struggle. |

Main Street Trolley I - Summer |
While managing a local sign company, Joyce was chosen to do the lettering, pin-striping, and hand painting on the Main Street Trolleys in Memphis. It was from this work that Joyce conceived the idea for her first print which grew into her series of trolley prints. Main Street Trolley, with its summer setting, is the first in this series of seasonal prints. As the trolley passes Court Square, the historic fountain and the Tennessee Club can be seen in the background. A whimsical touch is Joyce's daughter, Kristi, portrayed as the small girl near
the fountain. You will find Kristi somewhere in each trolley scene. 2200 S/N

Main Street Trolley IV - Winter |
With the trolley continuing its route in this winter scene of downtown Memphis, Joyce completes her series of seasonal trolley prints. In this latest watercolor print, one of the larger trolleys is pictured in the foreground with the historic First United Methodist Church in the background, the oldest church in Memphis. Joyce used herself and her brother as the children in the foreground to symbolize fond memories of playing in the snow and her dream even as a child to be an artist. As the children are waiting for the trolley to pass, they are also looking into her future with the trolleys giving Joyce her start. The people riding the trolley are all her family members. As in the other trolley prints, Joyce has pictured her daughter along with her husband, Ralph. In recent years, Memphis has had only a few measurable snowfalls. As a result, this father and daughter couldn't pass up the opportunity to build a snowman and throw a few snowballs on Memphis' Main Street Mall along with Patchy, their black and white toy poodle. 4200 S/N (16x24).............$40 |
