Joann Kindt Art Scholarship Joann Kindt, born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, came from a family of artists and musicians. She excelled in both fields herself but eventually chose to pursue a career in art. She earned her BFA and master's degrees at the Art Institute of Chicago. After teaching for several years she returned to school to earn her Ph.D. at The Ohio State University. Kindt joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 1966, where she taught for nearly 25 years before retiring in 1990. In addition to teaching painting, figure drawing and art history, she led three study tours to France. Her wide knowledge, constant willingness to help students, and her no-compromise-do-the-best-you-can attitude earned devotion, admiration and respect among both students and faculty. When the Grand Opera House in Oshkosh was restored, she reproduced the painting on the fire curtain that her grandfather, Louis Kindt, had originally done just over one hundred years earlier. Expressionist in style, a strong colorist, she worked in water colors, oils and tempera. Her drawings were done in pencil and charcoal, and pen and ink, and she did etchings and woodcuts as well. Kindt has entered paintings in exhibitions around the state. Her work has been purchased both in this country and in Canada.
