San Francisco born listed artist Joan Brown, was influenced in her early career by Elmer Bischoff and Richard Diebenkorn. Later, images from ancient Egyptian religion, Hinduism and Theosophy began to show up in her paintings. Her mid-1970s work moved away from the Abstract Expressionism and turned to more exotic themes, such as Egypt, or imagined views of Tibet and China. Some of her more notable works were inspired by places and people she knew intimately, creating a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness and the absurd.

Joan Brown created a body of work distinguished by its breadth and personal vision, even though her creative output was cut short by her premature death while installing a work of art in India in 1990.
