Born in Dundee in 1954,
Joan studied painting at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art,
Dundee and completed her Diploma course at Edinburgh College of
Art.
Over the years she has found affinity with the works of some of
the Impressionists, the Nabis, the Newlyn School, the Glasgow
Boys and the Scottish Colourists. Composition, paint quality and
colour distribution in painting are very important to her.
Her works are in the collection of Lord McFarlane of Bearsden,
Trinity International Holdings and in private collections in Spain,
Australia and USA.
She has exhibited in galleries throughout Scotland since 1987
including the Macaulay Gallery in East Lothian, The Open Eye and
Flying Colours Galleries in Edinburgh, the Atholl Gallery in Dunkeld
and the Contemporary Fine Art Gallery in Eton. Her paintings have
been hung in the Royal Scottish Academy, The Royal Glasgow Institute,
The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours and the
Society of Scottish Artists and Artist Craftsmen.
She was a finalist in the Morrison Portrait Competition 1991 at
the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh as well as a finalist
in the Laing Landscape Competition 1992 at the Mall Galleries,
London.
