Joan Graybeal Menard
Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, Joan moved to the Shenandoah Valley in 2012. She has created art her entire life and enjoys combining multiple media in her work.
In response to an often chaotic world, Joan creates her own fantasy figures. Her calm-faced ladies emerged during Covid, when she missed seeing people’s happy expressions. She hopes they bring a sense of peace and joy to viewers.
“Life Is a Stage: Welcome to Joan of Art’s World” features her beloved ceramic figures alongside new mixed-media assemblages.
Step into Joan’s imaginative world and stay awhile.
Exploration of Creation
JC Armbruster (b. Dublin, Ohio) lives and works in Waynesboro, Virginia. A professional artist since the age of sixteen, Armbruster brings decades of creative exploration to his dynamic, evolving process. His work emerges from emotion into thought—focused instinct transformed into powerful visual expression.
These “living art” works shift and deepen over time, inviting viewers into an ongoing dialogue. As perspective changes and matures, new discoveries unfold within each piece, allowing the art to grow alongside its audience.
JC is a studio artist at Shenandoah Valley Art Center and curator of our Outside Exhibit Program.
Shenandoah Valley Art Center 126 S. Wayne Avenue, 416 W. Main Street, Waynesboro, VA 22980 540-949-7662
