JoAnne Lobotsky is an American artists living in the Hudson Valley. Lobotsky emphasizes the physicality and materiality of her work as a counter-response to the ubiquitous flat screens in our lives. Using acrylics, pumice, and texturing pastes, she focuses on the tangible surface and the labor of creation. Her intuitive, experimental process includes a rough expressive quality combined with a general flatness of imagery.

Lobotsky graduated cum laude in sculpture from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, where she was fortunate to have Judy Pfaff, Elizabeth Murray, and Alice Aycock as mentors. Upon graduating in 1982, SVA nominated her to represent the class at the Organization of Independent Artists Sculpture Garden show on Ward’s Island. Her education also includes painting at the Art Students League and printmaking at Colorado University at Boulder. Recent solo exhibitions include the Atlantic Gallery in NYC and the former John Davis Gallery in Hudson. She has won several prizes in group shows for her work. Her work is in private collections in the US and Europe.
