Joanne Steinhardt

Joanne Steinhardt is primarily a sculptor working in textile and found object. Her work has been exhibited widely across the United States, particularly in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Beginning with reclaimed and discarded materials, she transforms everyday objects into sculptural mixed media pieces that merge personal history with new meaning. Through shifts in scale and meticulous handywork, her works evoke wonder while inviting reflection on themes of women’s labor, illness, aging, and resilience. Each piece encourages viewers to engage in discussion as well as personal and societal introspection.
