Joann Quinlivan ~ Pastels

https://joannquinlivanart.com/

Capturing the landscape with a rich palette, Joann Quinlivan embarks on each painting as a journey in which her love of nature and affinity for color can be expressed.  Primarily self-taught, Joann has attended many professional pastel workshops over the years in order to hone her craft. 

 She is past President of the United Society of Pastel Artists in Southern California and past VP of the Adirondack Pastel Society.  Her award winning work has been juried into numerous pastel national competitions.

Joann has been teaching beginning pastel at The Hedges, an Adirondack Resort, for the last four years.  She has also taught at Ticonderoga Arts Gallery, Wiawaka Women’s Center in Lake George, NY, and as a non-credit teacher at Adirondack Community College in Queensbury, NY.  She imparts her knowledge of value, color and composition in a relaxed and fun environment.

 In 2024, she will again be teaching at Wiawaka Women’s Center in July and August, Diamond Point Library in July and October, and will be giving a one day workshop in pastels at Ticonderoga Arts Gallery in July.

Equally expert at detailed land and seascapes, Joann paints en plein air in Southern California and upstate New York, where she now resides.  She accepts commissions and her clients range throughout the United States, England and Australia.
