Looking for information on a Joy Aros print by Verkerke Posters?

I'm trying to find any information about an old print I have here. It's a print of a painting by Joy Aros, distributed by Verkerke Posters. I can't seem to find a stitch of information about the painting, the artist, or the poster distribution company via Google or anywhere online.



The painting is of a young girl's face, crying, with a flower next to her head. It is signed "Joy Aros" in the lower left, and my print has "Verkerke" printed in the very bottom left corner.



A photo of the painting can be found here:- http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/...



If anybody can tell me any more information at all about this mysterious painting, I'd be very grateful!



Thanks!

Okay. First, you have variously called your piece a print and a painting. It is neither. It is a photographic reproduction of a painting. The "Verkeke Posters" part should have been a tipoff. The image was mass-produced onto paper or cardboard. It is not valuable.



Second, a search on "Joy Aros" turned up a painter named "Joy Caros". The signature matches the one on your piece, and the style and subject matter are similar to her paintings on black velvet. I cannot find your particular image, but you can see her work from the 80's to the present here:
