Joyce Neimanas

Joyce Neimanas (born January 22, 1944) is an American photographer from Chicago, Illinois. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1966 and, in 1969, her Masters in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied with Kenneth Josephson.

Neimanas is "known as a photographer who uses unorthodox methods in producing mixed-media imagery, which contains two recurrent themes-the anxiety of personal relationships and the male/female stereotypes."

In 1970 Neimanas joined the staff at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She was married to the photographer and teacher Robert Heinecken with whom she moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico around 2004. Neimanas taught at the University of New Mexico from 2004 until 2010.
