Joanne has been an artist her whole life.  Raised in both southern and central Alberta, Canada, she spent her childhood running through the prickly grasses of the prairies and building rock paths across streams in the Rocky Mountains.  She has spent her years observing the stars in the night sky,  gazing up at the tallest trees, and marvelling at the little birds who use the wide blue sky as their playground. 

 

Creativity has come in all different forms over the years; sewing and crochet work, a photography business, and gorgeous custom cake-pop bouquets for countless clients.  Time for painting has ebbed and flowed through the years as she and her husband have raised their five children, but it wasn't until four years ago when she pulled out her old tubes of acrylic paints and bought some canvas that her passion for painting was reignited.  She never looked back. 

 

       "Finding my voice as an artist is invigorating.  Each time I lift my brush to paint, I marvel at the lessons I learn and the creative insights I discover.  It is an affirming experience as I lean into the whisperings of my heart, move forward, and trust the process.  Come join me as I find my voice and share the joy I seek to share."
