Joan Stuart Ross

(American, born 1942)

Seattle-based artist Joan Stuart Ross creates two-dimensional artworks that combine encaustic (made using melted wax), painting, printmaking, and collage techniques. Experimenting with process and repetition, Ross creates layered visual narratives that explore natural forms and personal symbols.

Ross earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Connecticut College, and Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts degrees from the University of Iowa.
