Joan was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and started sewing at the age of nine. In the years following, she combined her artistic talents and her love of fabric in her work.  She received her Masters in Art from Adelphi University where she held her first one woman exhibit.

  Joan had the privilege of teaching high school art on Long Island, New York for twenty two years.  After she retired, Joan dedicated her time to help shelter animals.

   She currently resides with her husband, Bob and their two rescue dogs Nina and Molly.  Joan's artistic muses are the dogs found at shelters and rescues.  She hopes her art will raise awareness and help end animal over population.

   Joan currently has a studio in Cape May Point, New Jersey and Sarasota, Florida.
