Joan Foth
Born in Elmira, NY, in 1930, Joan Foth graduated from Barnard College with a degree in art history and Oriental studies. She moved to Topeka in 1953 and taught life drawing and watercolor at Washburn University from 1958 to 1983. While Foth loved to paint the Kansas landscape, she also painted mountains in Wyoming and the Sangre de Christos and Jemez mountains of northern New Mexico. The exceptionally wide and narrow format of this work effectively communicates the horizontal expansiveness of the scene.
