Joan Strauss Carl was a Los Angeles artist, teacher, and humanitarian activist.
She was a prolific sculptor and painter, she worked in many media, including bronze, terracotta, marble, stone, wood, and in welded iron.
She was a past president of the Los Angeles Art Association and has left a formidable body of her work and commissions in private collections, museums and houses of worship.
After studying art in Cleveland and at the Art Institute of Chicago, she traveled West. Her decision had proved smart as she quickly had six one-woman shows and was consistently accepted in very important invitational, juried exhibitions from San Francisco to San Diego.
A quote from her exhibition: Joan Carl – One-Woman Sculpture Show. “My work is my way of life. It is a constant search and examination and questioning of ideas as well as form and substance; and yet each new creation is a re-affirmation of respect and love of humanity and life.”
Carl was represented by Paideia Gallery in Los Angeles and resided in Sherman Oaks, California for many years. And after her passing her works were represented by Papillon Gallery in Los Angeles.
