Bio:

Joanne has been painting and instructing for 50+ years, awarded in many ways, but the best and most fulfilling is when her ' Art therapy' is instrumental in changing lives, allowing the 'freedom' to have a domino effect!!

Statement:

Joanne splashes with color to convey emotion and energy. Her palette was darkened for some years, but watercolors, prayer, and a faithful God became the lifeline to brightening the 'palette of her life.'
