Born in Highland Park, New Jersey, in 1940, Joan Snyder became a pioneering feminist artist and, just as significantly, established exhibition opportunities for other women artists. It was an undergraduate course that cultivated her love for painting.

Snyder gained attention in the 1970s with her abstract ?stroke paintings,? which were the basis of her first solo shows in New York and San Francisco.

In the 1980s, she began producing issue-oriented and autobiographical pieces with themes including nature, death, love, sex, politics and recovery from illness. Typically, her paintings incorporated the use of color and text, using a variety of materials.

One autobiographical work is titled, ?My Maggie.?

More about that tomorrow.

The Rainbow Minute is produced by Judd Proctor and Brian Burns and airs on 97.3 FM, WRIR Richmond Independent Radio, every Weekday at 7:59 a.m, 12:29 p.m. and 4:59 p.m. Listen to the WRIR?s audio stream here.
