JOANNE KENT, 2013

Joanne Kent

My work is a continuing exploration of materials, mostly paint, and its application.The works are minimal in form and express the intrinisic qualities of the materials used and how these works exist in an environment. Works include paintings, sculptures, and photography.

I have exhibited extensively in Washington, D.C., and in other areas. I am the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and grants from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and hold an MFA degree from the University of Minnesota.
