who was joan shogren computer art

Joan Shogren, a chemistry graduate from San José State University (SJSU) in the early 1950s, created some of the world's first computer-generated art in 1963 while working as a secretary in the chemistry department. Collaborating with graduate student Jim Larson and assistant professor Ralph Fessenden, she developed a theory that computers could create art if given "rules" of proportion, balance, and center of interest. Fessenden translated her "laws of art" into code on an IBM 1620 computer, producing artworks that were printed as number arrays and later hand-colored by artist Marvin Coon. Shogren exhibited these works in May 1963 at the campus bookstore, recognized as the first public display of computer art. Two decades later, she was commissioned by software company T/Maker to create the first clip art, "ClickArt," released in 1984 for Macintosh computers, designed pixel by pixel.
