| Joan Barron is a white-line printmaker and woodcut artist. She has lived in Provincetown since 1997.
Joan was born in 1941 and grew up in Malden, Massachusetts. She has a degree in library science from Simmons College and has had a long career as a librarian. She has also worked for many art galleries, notably the Jacques Seligman Gallery in New York, as Assistant to the Director of Modern American Paintings.
As a child, Joan’s parents took her to Marblehead, Massachusetts every summer to stay in old cottages on Devereux Beach. The happy memory of those summers has inspired her to want her prints to look as if they were found on the kitchen shelf of an old cottage from the 1940s. |
