A lover of color, Joan Bixler’s artistic approach is Assertive,
Fresh and Exuberant.
She prefers to work on a larger scale, often with bold
brushstrokes or shapes in bright hues — using color, form and texture to create
the effect.
With a background in faux finishes, specialty painting,
murals and graphic arts, her work is known to leverage various methods and
textures for emphasis, such as gold leaf, iridescent paint and Venetian
plaster.
Joan is a native Washingtonian and grew up in Northern
Virginia and currently resides in McLean near Tysons Corner. She has three
grown children and 4 grandchildren. Her decorative painting company, Bixler
Studios, specializes in faux and Specialty painting, serving commercial clients
in the Maryland, Virginia and DC area for the past 36 years.
Joan has a BFA in Fine Art and Graphic Design from American
University. She is affiliated with Touchstone Gallery, DC, Falls Church Arts
and Alexia Scott’s Studio in Falls church.
