Joan Snyder's work has appeared in many public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She received her BA from Douglass College in New Brunswick, New Jersey (1962) and an MFA from Rutgers University (1966), also in New Brunswick. She was a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship (1974) and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial fellowship (1983).
Although Snyder's paintings are often placed under various art-movement umbrellas (abstract expressionism, neo-expressionism, and feminist art), the changing nature of her work, with its combustion of personal iconography, female imagery, aggressive brushstroke, and accomplished formalism, has kept steadily untagged.
Snyder lives in Brooklyn and Woodstock, New York.
