A Whimsical View of Women: Paintings by Joan Zone

Art Reception

Exhibit runs July 16–August 10

Artist Statement:

Joan has been painting in water medium since 1999. Her art is often whimsical.  As a viewer and an artist, she finds art with whimsy fun, creative and totally engaging.  She tries to go beyond the image itself and create a dynamic between the viewer and the art.   Painting subjects with disparate colors, actions and sizes is one way she does this.  Applying washes she finds the beginnings of such things as red cows, blue rabbits, orange sheep and oversized birds.  Being very much influenced by her environment, she paints scenes that capture her emotionally, whether it’s a pink sheep, a snow covered field, flying fish  or a romantic European street or countryside. Recently, she has been using more mixed media  to create a textured background that encourages freer expression.
