PAINTINGS  

Nighttime at the Nucleus

This painting currently hangs at the University of Judaism.

The Nucleus Nuance was (and maybe still is) a restaurant/club in West Hollywood on Melrose. They had one or two of her large paintings there in the early '80's as I recall. (Thank you to Carol for this information!)

Tom Rosenberger writes: The former owners of the Nucleus had possession of it after the club was sold in 1993 and then rescued it when the club closed soon after in 1994. I used to manage the place and am still friends with the owner and we tried for years to find a buyer for it. No one was interested. Finally, a few years ago, the owner re-married and her husband suggested that she donate it (to the museum). Joni has been a friend of the owner since the 60's (they are both from Canada). So that's how the painting found its new home.

I would love to see this larger. Too hard to see. Looks awesome though.
