Artist Studios at Fearrington Village is a community of visual artists and fine craftspersons who have come together to support one another, promote our art, open our studios and share our vision of Fearrington Village as an arts destination. Many of the artists welcome visitors to their studios by appointment and during our annual Open Studio Tour.
From fellow artist, Murry Handler: "When I met Joan and we discovered that her early teacher, Diana Kan, was also a friend of mine, we bonded immediately.
ReplyDeleteI felt as if Joan was one of my oldest, dearest friends even though we spoke only infrequently.
Each time I saw any of her brush drawings I realized how much I had to learn."
