I look for harmony, balance, for that stream of clear energy that grounds and connects me. My work is about making visual the pulse I see in the paper and feel in my core.
That I find magic in the manipulation of paper, that others might glimpse the Source through my eyes -- this is my wish, my pleasure and my plan.
talk to Joan
The Houston Arts Alliance has selected my project to receive an Individual Artist Grant that will be completed by April 2014. For that project I will create full size paper dresses from these paintings I made in 1958.
The title is TIME TRAVELERS
I will post my progress here and eventually begin a blog to document many of the steps. This work will be the focus of my art for the coming months. I am grateful to all of you who have followed my work and supported my art through the past 20 years. This will be a new beginning and it fills me with great joy to have the opportunity!
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to support this project.
