Jennifer Joseph (born 1949) is a Melbourne-based artist whose work aligns closely with the aestheticism of the Abstract art movement. In 1971 Joseph received her diploma of Arts and Crafts from Melbourne Teachers' College. She went on to study Fine Art part-time at RMIT University, Australia between 1977 until 1979. Despite her foray with art school and education, Joseph considers herself essentially self-taught.In order to work within the realm of the abstract and lucid, Joseph lives nocturnally. The meditative quality of Joseph’s work is achieved through working with ephemeral materials and mediums, such as graphite, linen, wood, viscous acrylic paint, paper, and ‘found objects’, that she often combines together with elements of drawing and collage. Her creative process involves sitting for many hours contemplating materials, emotions and potential works, and when she is focused and deeply concentrated she executes each work at great speed. For Joseph the process of making art is synonymous with the instinctual nature of life.
