COLLECTIONS: The ART OF JOAN Ladendorf

A Little Bit About My Creative Journey

I am a self-taught artist who has been exploring various avenues on my artistic journey over the past 45 years.  My recent EAG solo show "Collections" featured selections from my past and present work, many themes and styles resulting from my collecting habits.  I tend to overdo, and amass hundreds of whatever I'm collecting, whether it be texture images, fabrics with scattered patterns, Funko POP figures, books, Star Wars stuff, bowls and dishes with feet, red stones, retro cocktail glasses, or any of my other collections. 


I began with theater costuming and graphic design, and then progressed through traditional quiltmaking and various art quilt techniques and styles.  My abstract compositions display passion for shape and color, and made use of my extensive fabric palette numbering over 12,000 pieces.  I then developed an innovative technique using cotton batik fabrics hand cut with scissors and assembled with a sheet of mounting adhesive.  These fabric compositions featured abstract shapes and transparency effects accomplished with careful fabric choices. 


Photography came next, after receiving a Canon digital camera from my sons for my birthday eleven years ago.  It was a place I had visited before, back in the old days of film and darkrooms, but the digital offered so much more.  I focused on local sites, collecting thousands of images from my backyard creek, auto junkyards, the Chicago Botanic Garden, Spring Valley Nature Center, the Illinois Railway Museum, and many other great facilities.  Originally used as stand-alone images, I quickly moved into using Photoshop's capabilities to combine them in layers or use as ingredients to create composite work.


Currently, I am creating what I like to call "Photo Collage".  Making use of my image collection of textures and landscape backgrounds, throwing in shapes taken from the fabric compositions or drawn with the computer mouse, or including scans of my hand-painted and altered papers, I am exploring several new collections, including "Fields" and a brand new group called "Surreal".  There are new pieces in the "Landscapes" section as well.  The elements are digitally assembled using Photoshop's various layering techniques, and further enhanced with dimensional effects.

My work is copyrighted.  My signature will appear in the lower right hand corner of the print.  Much effort has been expended to show the colors as accurately as possible, but between the photography, my computer and your computer, some variation may occur.  To insure colors remain vibrant, avoid hanging the work in direct sunlight.  If you have any questions about purchasing any items shown on this website, please contact me by e-mail at joan@joanladendorf.com.
