Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Bio: Joanne Ungar is Brooklyn based, originally from Minneapolis. She began as a liberal arts major at Oberlin College, then moved to New York to earn a BFA from the SVA, focusing on collage and assemblage. Her evolution continued in the studio where she developed a complex sense of color to create luminous layered encaustic artwork from commercial packaging and ephemera found on the streets of Brooklyn. In a continuing pursuit of her vision, she often tinkers with her approach to get the desired lucidity for what she is burying or revealing in layers of wax. She recieved a NYSCA/NYFA grant in 2017.
