The Fresno Art Museum Council of 100's Distinguished Woman Artist 2017.
Born in Chicago in 1936 and later relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area, Joan Schulze has gained international prominence in the fiber arts as a studio artist, teacher, lecturer, and juror. She is both visual artist and lyrical poet, but her experimental and groundbreaking work in the quilt medium, using collage as the basis of her practice, is what is most admired and written about. Over the decades she has exhibited internationally, been published in prestigious catalogs and publications, and is included in the collections of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., the Oakland Museum of California, Kaiser Permanente, Adobe Systems, Inc., the John M. Walsh III Collection of Contemporary Art Quilts, and many other important public and private collections in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The Fresno Art Museum and the Council of 100 were proud to name Joan as the Distinguished Woman Artist for 2017 and were pleased to organize this exhibition of her work from the past fifteen years.
Joan describes her work: "At the heart of my work, whether it be quilts, collages, or books, is the transformation of fabric and paper in layered constructions. Improvising during the painting, image-transfer processes and collaging of materials, while chasing an idea at hand creates adventure in the studio—thoughts are made visible."
