jan J Jocoy has been an ISA appraising member for 20 years.

Jan J Jocoy earned a bachelor of Art History/Criticism from the University of California at San Diego in 1986.

Along with being a member of appraisal organizations for over 25 years, Jan J Jocoy has extensive experience. In  the late 1970's, Jocoy traveled to Teotilan del Valle area in Oaxaca, Mexico to curate  textiles to export and sell in the United States. In the 1980's, she managed a Oriental Rug and Textile store in San Diego. She has attended many conferences on Oriental Rugs both nationally and internationally. Jocoy traveled through out Anatolia (central Turkey) visiting rug weavers and dye masters.

Jocoy's interest in world art and folk art motivated her to see these art forms made in their country of origin and in their cultural context. She has traveled to India, Mexico, Kenya, Egypt, Tunisia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Turkey, Oman, Thailand, Maldives, Singapore, France, Spain, Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland, Guatemala, Ecuador, Spain, Portugal, and many more countries. Along with contemporary fine arts and folk art, Jocoy has traversed these areas inspecting fine and decorative arts in museums and galleries.  

Jocoy is a frequent traveler to the Southwest and attends Santa Fe's annual Indian Market every year. She is on a first name basis with Native American artists and with many gallery owners.  Because of Jocoy's life long interest in Native American as well as other indigenous group's art forms she is able to identify and  appraise many items that other appraisers may not be able to recognize or value.
