Wildflowers have always been an inspiration to me and in the mountains they are spectacular. Having often illustrated both together in stained glass, I was eager to depict one of my favourites, the magical spring shooting stars, where they seem to tumble onto the long mountain ridge above the Rockwall Trail in Kootenay National Park.
Born in Ontario, Joan studied glass working at Sheridan College School of Craft and Design. She settled in Alberta in 1979. Joan gained valuable experience through the restoration and creation of commissioned works while employed at three of the major glass studios in Calgary: the Rubaiyat, Glass Effects and Avanti Art and Glass Co. Her works have been displayed and sold at shows and galleries in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario and are found in private collections throughout Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand. Joan love to travel and it is an important influence in her life. Currently, she creates unique pieces in glass from her home-based studio in Calgary.
