July 23, 2008 - The Art Project has joined forces with Ontario Artist Joan Conlan. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Joan came to Toronto when she was five. By age eleven she began drawing animals. In 1974 she studied Environmental Design in OCAD. In 1979 graduated from Humber College in Interior Design. She has been involved in art for more than 30 years. She donated to the Toronto Zoo, a sculpture relief of "Angie" their Artic Wolf.
This piece is displayed in their Administration Offices. In 3007 she entered and was accepted into the prestigious juried 34th Annual Show of Fine Arts at the Peel Heritage C omplex in Brampton, Ontario.
Joan paints with acrylic and uses a technique which results in an oil painting look. The subject matter of her paintings varies from portraits to nature scenes. She loves painting places that reflect solitude and wildness, getting her inspiration from her travels to Australia, Ireland and Bosnia. Joan currently lives on a country property in the Rockwood, Ontario area, surrounded by the nature she loves and manifests in her paintings.
