This artist is so inspiring, love all her work. I recently bought an Asian art book in a thrift store and found drawings and article on her in B Sun article.
I never knew of her but wish I had. Lovely soul on this Earth.

I saw Joan's work at a gallery in Del Mar and the experience with her paintings was magical for me, for the friend with me and for the gallery owner. If that much magic came for us who had simply joined ourselves to the spirit in her images, I can hardly imagine the magic of knowing Joan in real life. My great condolence to your family. I am myself comforted by living with 2 of her works. Should you want details of the specific painting and the story of its spell, please feel free to contact me. Laurel Barile [email protected]

joy. We will miss her .Kathleen Clark, Virginia Lucero, Mary McGrew.

I never met Ms. Erbe, but my mother sister and I have four paintings by her from the early 1960s which we inherited, and they have given us an enormous amount of joy. Growing up with her art in our home had a strong influence on us all and I think it contributed to my sister and me going into the arts. She has influenced many people in a positive way through her art.

So many fond memories... There was no one quite like her. "Mother Ruth" was so fond of her. (She went on ahead in November, 2013.) Our sympathies to all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob & Ginny von Behr
