Artist of the Month: Joan Rockwell

The Long Island Museum and LIMarts are pleased to announce the March 2023 Artist of the Month is Joan Rockwell.
“Having been involved in art since childhood and wanting to be an artist, it was necessary to wait until life allowed me the opportunity to study more seriously. Now there is more time to paint. My favored mediums are oil, pastel, and charcoal. I enjoy gardening and floral design as well.
As a child I moved around quite a bit, spending a good part of my childhood in Hawaii. The colors of the islands have always been an inspiration for me no matter what subject I’m painting, or where I am. I always try to make my subject come alive.
In recent years I’ve had the opportunity to study under many talented and respected artists. Kevin McEvoy, Christian White, Doug Reina, William Graf and Jane McGraw Teubner have all been significant mentors for me.
My local exposure and work at the Atelier at Flowerfield brought workshops with Ben Fenske, Mark Delessio, Ramiro, and in the beginning, Joe Reboli.”
Joan has shown at several venues and has memberships in many art groups including: LIM Artists group, Atelier at Flowerfield, Art League of Long Island, Huntington Arts Council, Setauket Artists, Gallery North , Smithtown Township Arts Council, Bayport – Bluepoint Library as a Guest Artist and formerly, Catharine Lorillard Art Group
Visit the LIM History Museum & Visitors Center through the month of March to see select pieces of Joan’s work on view.

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Members are invited to submit artwork created within the last two years. The world feels like it was turned upside down in 2020 but it has also shown us that we are resilient and that Everything Is Possible.
