​"I remember wondering, in the early days, how this structural engineer had come to be in my less than structured art class. And then I watched as tiny bits of paper were transformed into train stations and city streets. That aspect of Joan's work has always fascinated me; all those tiny bits lined up and layered, and yet everything is so fluid. As artists, we know that art is more than just paint on canvas or whatever the medium may be. It is an expression of the individual; a glimpse into their true nature. Joan's art is a delicate balance between her analytical mind and her creative spirit."
