Joan Myers was born in 1944 in Des Moines, Iowa, and had an early interest in the sciences and mathematics. At Stanford University, her concentration on Renaissance and baroque music performance led to a B.A in 1966 and a M.A. in musicology in 1967.

In the early 1970's Ms. Myers turned to photography. Today she utilizes various digital methods, as well as the platinum-palladium process and continues her exploration of hand-applied color. She maintains her residence and studio near Santa Fe, New Mexico, and teaches workshops throughout the country.
