Stain Painting Artist

Inspiration of Joan’s Stain Painting Series

Joan Hill is an extremely talented artist who was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. During one of her trips to the Winnipeg Art Gallery with her mother and twin sister, Van Gogh’s paintings of “Sunflowers” and “Crows In The Corn Field” made a lasting impression on her. Up to this day, the influences of the early Expressionists--such as Van Gogh and Gauguin--continue to inspire her. Further inspired by the Color Field painters of the 1960s, such as Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis, Joan’s paintings are lively, gestural compositions of color, form, and movement.

Educational and Professional Background

Joan's Fine Art study began at David Thompson University in Nelson, British Columbia. She spent one year at the University of Alberta and completed a degree in Fine Arts at the University of Victoria. She has studied portraiture with Doolee MacDonnel of Trail, B.C., and watercolor with Les Weisbrech of New Denver, B.C. Joan learned the old-world traditional techniques with a classical emphasis from Jean Birnie of Artistically Speaking in Edmonton, Alberta. Later on, Joan taught drawing, painting, and sculpture at her art school, the Artistic Statement Gallery & School of Fine Art in Victoria, B.C., for 30 years.

Personal Life

Joan has proudly passed down her artistic passion to her equally talented child. Her daughter has successfully opened her own studio recently.
