Joan Beal

Joan has studied for two hours a week at W.E.A. classes for two years. Last year, aged 72, she suffered a stroke. Her art played an important part in her recovery. She tries to use unusual subjects and materials for her work. The portrait was done using instant coffee. She does not comply with many rules: sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. She doesn’t worry about the failures. She just tries again!
