Joan was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba and during one of her frequent trips to the Winnipeg Art Gallery with her mother and twin sister, Van Gogh's paintings of "Sunflowers" and "Crows in the Corn Field" made a lasting impression.   The influences of the early Expressionists such a Van Gogh and Gaugin and the Symbolists Redon, continue to inspire her.

Further influenced by the color field painters of the 1960's such as Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis, joan's paintings  are lively, gestural compositions of form and movement.
