Beloved Baltimore artist JOAN ERBE
has been gone for over 10 years now,
but her vibrant character-driven art lives on.
JOAN ERBE – SPECIAL COLLECTION
Come take a peek at some of Joan Erbe’s most hidden treasures.
We have cleaned out her storage unit at the family’s request

JOAN ERBE – PAINTINGS
Joan’s father used to take her to the circus sideshows when she was a child,
and her family often hosted a variety of artistic, theatrical and circus folk.
These characters filled her head and manifested themselves in a variety of
media throughout her life. Fleckenstein Gallery is presenting her remaining
artwork for sale, and exhibiting the art she collected by her peers, students
and family friends, and some paintings from her early years.

JOAN ERBE – PRINTS AND WATERCOLORS
She always had an active imagination and constantly created,
though in her later years she had been more limited to drawings and watercolors.
Regardless, her subject matter was still as feisty as she was.
