Our fabulous featured female this issue is exactly that—an attractive young
versatile talent whose extraordinary range of skills belies her years. Joan
Berg-Victor has, in a word, done just about everything. A one-woman dazzler,
she has illustrated children's books for such prominent publishers as
' Scribner, Atheneum, Doubleday, Harper and Row. She has illustrated
adult books for Crown, Norton, Western, and Doubleday. She has written
and illustrated children's books for World, Grosset and Dunlap, and the
upcoming "The Family" for Bobbs-Merrill (Fall, 1978) and "Tarantulas" for
Dodd, Mead (Spring, 1979). The list of her illustrations appearing in
magazines and newspapers is legion — among them Fortune, Harper's,
Redbook, and The New York Daily News. Ditto for national advertisers like
Metropolitan Life, NBC, Land Rover, and RCA Records. She is especially
prodigious in concept development for lines of children's crafts, toys, and
doll designs—as well as in the specialized area of ecology. She has had a
variety of one-woman shows of paintings and drawings at galleries in New
York, New Haven, and Chicago. She has conducted art therapy classes for
cerebral palsied children. She has worked on the President's Committee
for Head Start. She has been invited to the White House by ex-President
and Mrs. Johnson for a visit honoring creative women in America. She has
appeared on network radio and TV shows in Washington, New York,
Chicago, and Boston. Joan Berg-Victor's work is with, among other things,
various traditional and innovative elements that cross all materials and
dimensions: paper, board, papier mache, edible (Christmas cookies) and
inedible dough, vinyl, fabrics, house-plant products, the stuff of nature. We
could go on and on, but these pages should give you a rough idea.
