After
an early active life in Los Angeles with four children, Joan
began taking film production stills, which brought her to
the Middle East. Over the last twenty-five years she came
to love the primitive peoples who inhabit remote deserts of
North Africa and India. Since her first exhibition in Montreal
in 1987, she has had a dozen solo shows across North America
and Egypt. Her recent book, The Past in the
Present, contains
many of these images. She is included in several museum, corporation
and private collections. Joan is a self-taught photographer
who lives and works in the same house she has had for over forty
years in Malibu, California.
