Joanne Parker lives in Westborough and rejoins AGS to encourage and renew her abilities in drawing and painting. She attended Worcester Art Museum School in 1944/1945 when Herbert Barnett was the school director, Mary Murphy taught painting, and Leon Hovsepian was the sculpture instructor. Sculpture is still her favorite art form.

Later, while living in Connecticut, she initiated an art group in her residential complex and found inspiration in weekly supervision by

instructor Diane Marinaro.

In the last few years, Joanne has taken a wide variety of courses at WAM.

She is presently working mostly in pastels and charcoal, finding still life and the human form to be the most interesting and challenging subjects. She has occasionally given or sold some of her work, but is mainly interested in

the process and evolvement of the task before her.

Joanne’s icons are found among the Impressionists and Post Impressionists beginning with El Greco, and from the New York school, Wolf Kahn’s knowledge and use of color and design is unique, original and fascinating to her.
