Artist Bio

Joan creates expressive, gestural art inspired by the human figure in motion and the dramatic forms of natural landscapes. Based in New York City since 1999, the focal point of her practice is the design of beautiful and impactful works of art for public spaces.

In 2008, she founded Figuration LLC in Brooklyn, a certified Woman-Owned Business known for combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge sculptural techniques. Her innovative process bridges ancient methods of hand-modeling with contemporary digital tools, resulting in works that are both timeless and distinctly modern.

In her practice, Joan explores the shifting boundaries between figure and landscape, presence and absence. Her unique works of art invite viewers to wonder whether the elements are emerging, disappearing, or simply suspended in motion, each piece a meditation on gesture, light, and the passage of time.‍ ‍
