Born and raised in Hull, living
through the Second World War, Joan, aged 87, is one of the Open 2025’s oldest
exhibitors. 
Her work is an acrylic of a photograph captured in 1910 of men
queuing for food as part of The Bowery Mission, a nonprofit that has provided
food, shelter and faith-based programs for New Yorkers since 1879. 
Joan is a
long-time applicant to the Open Exhibition, so we are delighted to offer her
the opportunity of an artist talk. 
Joan did an interview with Untold Hull which
