Aside from her collaborations, Joyce Pallot painted and exhibited extensively including a 1968 solo exhibition at the Trafford Gallery, London, and was a founding member of the Colchester Art Society. Her painting style moved towards abstraction with emphasis on geometric shapes and planes of colour, she painted landscapes and seascapes, particularly dock scenes with the dockside cranes a favourite theme. She painted in a range of media. Auction prices have seen a marked rise in recent years but most works are still very accessible for collectors.
