Joan Balzar graduated from the Vancouver School of Art in 1958, after which she traveled extensively. She has stated, "I loved to fly and was obsessed with the idea of space and ‘the spatial,’ as well as being attracted to light and the idea of creating light in my art. ..." Her aim in painting was to "try to expand the pictorial space by drawing the eye out," by "painting a volume of light."
