Joan Nelson was born in Torrance, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, where she lived until she was eleven. Her father was an aeronautical engineer and her mother a housewife who had studied art briefly and taught high school. The family moved to St. Louis, Missouri and she went to a junior college where she began to take art courses, then to a Catholic college and then she switched to Washington University where she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1981.
Nelson's success story is one that could only have happened to a young artist in the past decade. Just six years ago, she was working part time as a cleaning woman. Now she lives in a row house in Brooklyn with artist Don Pouley, with whom she has lived since college. She works in a studio on the top floor of the house; she paints landscapes on finely finished pinkish wood blocks, working with all kinds of materials like wax, plaster and egg tempera.
Joan Nelson is a member of the School of Post-Modernist painting. Nelson has helped to raise the issue of the marginal status of female artists, their reputations and careers. Nelson creates landscape paintings, that are openly influenced by the work of earlier artists, Nelson points out that women artists can legitimately "redo" any and every movement within the arts because their original efforts within those movements have gone unnoticed.
Joan Nelson's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C.; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

- "New York - Taken from the Northwest angle of Fort Columbus, Governor's Island"Located in New York, NYNew York - Taken from the north west angle of Fort Columbus Governor's Island, 1846 Engraved by Henry Papprill after a sketch by F. Catherwood, published by Henry J. Megarey Hand-colored engraving on paper Image 16 x 26 1/2 inches Henry A. Papprill (1816–1903) was a British engraver. Noted as an aquatint engraver from 1840. His plates were published from 1840 till 1883 mainly by Ackermann of the Strand. Papprill was born in Holborn, London. Lived for much of his life at Wharton Street, Lloyd Square, London. Papprill is thought to have been based in New York City for brief period in the mid-1840s. His work in the USA appears to classify him as an American engraver but he was based and gained his reputation and bulk of his work in England. He produced a series of works for Ackermann & Co from 1840 beginning with four plates called "The Jolly Squire", with verses, after James Pollard. In the following years Papprill engraved a number of military plates for Ackermann as well a series of engravings of New York (1846-9) for H.I.Megarey (published in New York). The most notable of these are: "The North West Angle of Fort Columbus, Governor's Island" (the Catherwood-Papprill view) and New York from the Steeple of St. Paul's Church, Looking East, South & West." (The Hill-Papprill view) listed in the American Historical Prints - Early Views of American Cities, etc: I.N.Phelps Stokes & Daniel C. Haskell. New York Public Library 1932. Papprill also produced for Ackermann a series of sporting prints after G. H. Laporte between 1860 and 1865. These were entitled: Racing, Hunting and Coursing. He also produced a series of shipping prints...Category

- "Business-Men's Class, Y.M.C.A." George Bellows, Ashcan School PrintBy George Wesley BellowsLocated in New York, NYGeorge Bellows Business-Men's Class, Y.M.C.A, 1916 Signed, numbered "No. 41" and titled lower margin Lithograph on wove paper 11 1/2 x 17 1/8 inches Edition of 64 Provenance: Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York Private Collection, Ohio Literature: Mason, 20. After his arrival from Columbus, Ohio in 1904, Bellows lived at the West Side YMCA. It was there that he met Eugene Speicher, another aspiring young artist who was to become his lifelong friend. Always interested in the anatomy of the human body, Bellows often satirized the various types who, while leading a sedentary life, feel compelled to devote a portion of their daily routine to physical self-improvement. Throughout his brief but illustrious career, George Wesley Bellows created striking scenes that documented ordinary American life in all its beauty and banality. Considered an American Realist, the artist eschewed embellishment, finding inspiration in the gritty boroughs of New York City, the rocky coastline of Maine, and, later, in his friends and family. Bellows garnered early recognition for his arresting portrayals of illegal prizefighting, dramatic works executed in dark tonal palettes that underscore the brutality of the violent sport. Bellows’ elderly Methodist parents hoped their son might pursue the ministry, a calling the extroverted athlete never received. The Columbus native competed on the baseball team at Ohio State University and also served as an illustrator for the college yearbook. In the fall of 1904—just months shy of his expected graduation—Bellows defied his father’s wishes and boarded a train to New York City in hopes of becoming a magazine illustrator like his idols Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson. Before leaving, he reportedly turned down an offer to play professional baseball with the Cincinnati Reds...Category
