Joan Hitchcock- Paintings and Silk Scarves

Joan Hitchcock

Joan Hitchcock is from Rochester, Washington, which is located almost exactly half way between Portland Oregon and Seattle Washington.
Inspired by the color, 3-dimensional forms and ,ultimately, the grace of nature, my art often takes a closer look at elements commonly seen in everyday life. She continues to explore the rich colors and fluidity of painting on silk, both wearable and wall-mounted pieces. Most recently, Joan discovered the wonder of creating works in acrylics.
“I enjoy exploring different mediums to discover new techniques while pushing each medium to extremes. I also enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with others through community art classes.”
