Born Joan Doscher, and raised in Riverside, Connecticut. Currently a figurative painter in San Miguel de Allende.
Joan studied illustration and furniture design at Parson's School of Design, received her Masters in Creativity Development at Pratt Institute, and studied painting at the Instituto de San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. She studied sculpture with Lou Trekas in Mallorca, Spain and with José de Creeft at the Art Student's League in New York.
Joan is presently working on a series of life-size full length figure paintings, which are designed to show the interior energy and beauty of the subjects painted. She believes that we are greatly more than we appear to be, and that we have forgotten our full expression as spiritual beings. Her paintings are her way of expressing this.
Joan's paintings hang in private collections in the United States, Europe and Mexico.
