Joan Fenicle has been traveling the caminos and callejones of New Mexico and southern Colorado for over 40 years, capturing vistas and villages in paintings and photos. She is originally from the high mountains of Colorado, but now calls Placitas, New Mexico home. She is an active member of both the Placitas and Albuquerque arts communities.

Her favorite quote, reflecting her search for subjects for her art work, comes from J.R.R. Tolkien—”Not all who wander are lost".
