About Joan
After retirement, Joan rediscovered her interest in drawing and painting and enrolled in lifelong learning classes and workshops. The spontaneity
and intensity of watercolor and the ability to describe the beauty of any landscape at a moment in time on a flat canvas took her breath away. Her artwork has been featured in numerous national and international exhibitions, and she was recently selected
for a solo exhibition at the Rehoboth Art League. Additionally, she was chosen to participate in the Colorado Governor’s Art Show for
three consecutive years. She has exhibited with galleries in Denver and Colorado Springs and holds signature membership in several
watercolor societies, including the Delaware Watercolor Society (DWS). Since relocating to Delaware and joining DWS in 2022, her
paintings have received awards in several local exhibitions. Joan still uses her software experience designing and developing webpages.
Joan, originally from California and an alumna of California State Polytechnic University,
Humboldt, built her studies and career around Computer Science. She dedicated much of her professional life to working with Government Contractors
at Air Force Facilities in Colorado.
