JOAN BROWN
February 13, 1938 – October 26, 1990
Joan was an American figurative painter
who lived and worked in Northern California.
She achieved prominence with a style of figurative painting
that combined bright color, sometimes cartoonish drawing,
and personal symbolism.
In the late 1970s, Brown became increasingly interested
in spirituality and New Age ideas,
eventually becoming an adherent of Sathya Sai Baba.
She made a number of trips to his ashram in Puttaparthi, India.
In 1990, she died in a construction accident while installing an obelisk
at the Sai Baba's Eternal Heritage Museum.
Brown was also a competitive swimmer.
