Born in Scotland, Joan lived for many years in Toronto, then seized the opportunity to move to beautiful Vancouver. Joan works with contemporary collage and textile processes.  Vivid images and emotions are translated into complex layered and stitched works.   Joan’s work is currently focussed on colour, printmaking and various alternative expressions of quilting.
