Painting
Joan Snyder is an American painter known for gestural abstraction and mixed-media work that combines acrylic, oil, and collage elements on canvas. Working since the 1970s, she builds layered, energetic compositions that emphasize the mark-making process itself, often incorporating text, pattern, and found materials. Her practice engages with both formal abstraction and a distinctly personal visual vocabulary.
