Joan Tietz



Joan Tietz is an artist who thrives on creating with paper, glue, and scissors. Growing up in rural Nebraska, she was surrounded by nature, which sparked her creativity from a young age. In her one-room country schoolhouse, students filled shoeboxes with collected treasures for art projects, planting the seeds of her passion for collage-making. Joan graduated from Concordia University Nebraska with a degree in education and art, and she has dedicated over 30 years to teaching art. Her love for children’s art shines through in her whimsical and joyful paper collages. Joan finds immense joy in knowing that her work brings smiles to those who see it.
