Joyce was born in December 12, 1924 in Cardiff, Wales, UK.

Although her health problems affected her all her life, this did not stop her from being a happy, intelligent and lively lady.

At the age of two she started drawing two faces, a Catholic nun and a Red Indian, whom years later Joyce would recognize them as two of her Spirit Guides, St. Therese of Lisieaux and White Feather. In fact Joyce could see St. Therese at the rear patio of her parents home.

She had a great psychic capacity, she could see, listen or feel things that nobody else around her could.

She, being a child, remembers when a little girl in her neighborhood passed away. When Joyce arrived to the funeral, she could see the little girl grabbed to her parents legs, but just at the moment she was going to talk about it, the girl smiled at her and disappeared. Joyce was forbidden to talk about these fine feelings she had because her parents thought that the people would think she was insane

She was a very good student and when she was eleven y.o. she won a grant to continue her secondary studies, but due to the family financial problems, she had to leave school.

Despite all this, one year later she won a poetry prize and at any chance she would visit the library, as reading was one of her biggest passions.

At that moment she already read Spiritualism books, of well-known writers as Sr. Arthur Conan Doyle, Hans Swaffer and F.H.Myers.

Her first job was in a local nursery, but due to the humid atmosphere of the place, she got ill and left the job.

Since then she only chose artistic jobs. She worked as a commercial artist first for a year, then she continued drawing and painting the wall posters where films were announced.

Second World War started in Europe and Joyce went to work to a farm in Pembrokeshire, Wales. There she had another "paranormal" experience. She shared the bedroom with her friend. One day Berenice told her she could not stand it any longer. She could not sleep all nights, cause Joyce spent the nights knelt on the bed, praying and singing religious hymns. Joyce was not conscious at all of this way of spending the nights, so they decided to investigate about it. They discovered that Merryboro Farm previously had been a nun´s convent and due to a bubonic plague all died.

While working in the farm, she met her first husband, Len Morgan. In 1945 they married and had three children, Gillian, born in 1947, Lyndsay in 1954 and Lesley in 1957. Gillian actually lives in USA and produces, plays, directs and teaches many Shakespeare plays. Lyndsay is a RAF member and Lesley and her husband run a nursery in Wales.

Joyce started producing Spirit drawings on that period, but as she said, at the beginning she did not like at all the idea of drawing dead people faces. She also had three children to take care of and her financial position was not easy at all.

They moved to Cardiff where Joyce found a job in an architects company.

Health problems continued and doctors had to remove part of her right lung.

Len, her husband started a building company and later on he sold his company to Joyce´s one and incorporated to it. In 1963 Len went to inspect a building site where unfortunately he suffered a fatal accident and died.

Few days later Joyce and her daughter Gillian could clearly listen three knocks. That was the code Joyce and Len had established when they could not speak up clearly. The three knocks meant "I love you".

Joyce continued to feel her husband´s presence and she was frightened, but one day an old lady went to visit Joyce and told her she had some messages from Len. The first one said she should not be afraid and another one was to advice Joyce to join the local church circle. By doing the drawings he thought Joyce would develop much more her "psychic" capacities.

She joined one of these groups thinking she would see lots of paranormal phenomenon, but the only thing she saw was a group of people, mostly elderly, that seemed to sleep during the meditations. It was at that time when, after many proofs and messages, she knew that the nun she used to draw as a girl was St. Therese of Lisieaux.

Joyce was together with her mother when she passed away and listened to her telling how she could see her relatives coming to take her. That experience changed the way Joyce thought of her "capacity". Now she accepted it as a gift (that is the way she liked to talked about it). She understood then how much she could help people by doing that drawings.

Joyce did not like to be a protagonist. So while other mediums were giving messages to the public, she stayed aside drawing. Later, she would hang the drawings at the exit door of the church and when people looked at them, they could recognize their relatives.

She always was a hard working woman. When her husband Len passed away, she fought against the company she worked for to claim for the right amount of money and although she could decide to live on a Goverment pension, she chose to continue working.

In 1965 she started working for the Art and Illustration Department of Wales Medicine University, illustrating medicine books, as well as working for the Tenovus Institute for the Cancer research.

In 1968 she met her second husband, Thomas Protheroe and in 1973 they married, moving once more to Marloes, where they established and a year later they opened a small hotel-restaurant.

Joyce continued drawing the spirit faces, although she only did them for close friends. The hotel took most of her time. Joyce explained how all the jobs she had in her life, taught her and helped her to become a psychic artist. She could learn how to draw fast and how to treat people. In late 70´s they invested on an export project of antiques to USA, but they failed and lost nearly everything.

After paying their debts, with little savings they decided to move to Spain. In 1982 they bought a plot of land with a ruined house in Malaga.

Joyce and Tom, being 58 and 65 y.o., began building their home with the only help of one man in the valley. They lived in a caravan, had very little incomes and the construction took four years.

When it was finished they decided it was time to start using their capacities again. Tom was a great Spiritual Healer.

They contacted British residents on the coast and they started a meditation group in Fuengirola. There, Joyce did the Spirit drawings and Tom practiced Spiritual Healing. For seven years they moved to different places in Fuengirola, organizing activities, writing articles for the local press, inviting British mediums to come and give their messages. One of these centres was called The Serendipity Spiritual Healing Centre.

In early 90´s they decided to move their centre to their own home, although most people said nobody would go up there as it was too far out of town to travel too.

The last day they were in their centre in Fuengirola, two women came to invite Joyce to participate in an esoterical congress in Valencia and they accepted.

From that moment Joyce became more and more known in Spain. She appeared in many TV and radio programmes as well as in most of the Spanish esoterical magazines.

The Serendipity Centre became a meeting place for all people interested in Spiritualism, a great healing centre. When they were building it, without any logical reason, they did it with eight full bedrooms. I can tell you that many times there was not enough space for the activities.

Tom passed away in December 17, 1997. From that moment, Joyce dedicated all her life and energy to her drawings and traveling to different Spanish cities, but her health was getting worse.

In 1999 we left The Serendipity Centre. It was too big and it cost too much effort to keep it.

In 2000 her health deteriorated, so her daughter Lesley asked her to go and live together with her. In October she left Spain and has spent the last eight months of her life in Wales, together with her family.

From these lines, God bless you Joyce for all the work you have done in your life.

With all my love,
