Joan Nelson is a member of the School of Post-Modernist painting. Nelson has helped to raise the issue of the marginal status of female artists, their reputations and careers. Nelson creates landscape paintings, that are openly influenced by the work of earlier artists, Nelson points out that women artists can legitimately "redo" any and every movement within the arts because their original efforts within those movements have gone unnoticed.

Joan Nelson's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C.; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
