Born and raised in Hull, living through the Second World War, Joan, aged 87, is one of the Open 2025’s oldest exhibitors.
Her work is an acrylic of a photograph captured in 1910 of men queuing for food as part of The Bowery Mission, a nonprofit that has provided food, shelter and faith-based programs for New Yorkers since 1879.
Joan is a long-time applicant to the Open Exhibition, so we are delighted to offer her the opportunity of an artist talk.
