PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THE LIFE AND ART OF JOAN MINTZ
The life and art of
"LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
You are busy making plans."
JOAN MINTZ CAME INTO THIS WORLD A MIRACLE
BORN DECEMBER 24, 1946
HER MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO HER IN THE BACK SEAT OF A CAR.
THE CHILD OF HOLOCAUST ESCAPEES
TO CREATE MAGICAL MOMENTS
SHE WOULD BURST INTO THIS WORLD
HER SISTER EVIE
Would always be close to her.
AND AT THE AGE OF TEN
Joan became a big sister to Karen.
High school prom with Marc (1964)
At age fifteen she met the love of her life
"FAIRY DUST"
JOAN POSSESSED MATHEMATICAL ABILITIES
that made her an artist in the truest sense
She loved structure, order and beauty
(Pictured here with her father Henry Gutman)
Joan graduated with a degree in Art Education
She became everyone's favorite art teacher.
Seafort High School 1968 (can you find Joan?)
She married Marc Mintz on June 21, 1970
True love began on that day
THEIR UNION WOULD RESULT IN TWO CHILDREN
And five grandchildren (so far) ...
They made magical moments together for 43-years.
Moments of adventure.
Moments of joy.
Moments of daring.
(Like when she met the Beatles)
Moments that matter.
She built a life around family
And surrounded herself with love.
The family became complete (for now).
Joan planted the seeds of joy in her children
And watched them grow into kids she took pride in
With the love and support of sisters
SHE LIVED FOR HER Family AND HER ART
Eventually she returned to art education
She created imaginary worlds
That provided colorful reflections to our own
Always so proud of her kids
Truer joy could not be found
Then when Joan Mintz talked about family
She showed us beauty
And the preciousness of each day
She lived to see generations
The future artists (here with Shoshana Mintz)
HER MEMORY inspires CREATION
(Shana made this outfit for Wonder Woman bear)
Spirituality just takes a bit of trust
Trust that we'll be okay
Trust that we are truly blessed
Trust in the love of our family
Trust in celebrations of the spirt
and the family that accompanies you
WE wiLL all MISS YOU JOAN Mintz.
Trust that our lives have made an impact.
HONOR HER MEMORY
