Joan Stuart Ross
American (born 1942)

Location: Sawyer Woods Elementary, Black Diamond

About the Artwork

Inspired by the architecture of the Pantheon dome in Rome, in which the open aperture at the top of the structure resembles a human head, artist Joan Stuart Ross created "Pantheon - Icon No. 14" as an exploration of portraiture and the patterns and colors observable in both nature and the built environment.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Kent School District.

About the Artist

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.
