Joanne has been an artist most of her life and has experience in all media but prefers painting with pastel and oil paint. Her painting style crosses Realism with the softer edges and painterly qualities of Impressionism. She is inspired by the gentle beauty and spirit of New England and the Canadian Maritimes. Joanne’s wish is that people who see her paintings establish a connection between her work and nature with all it’s riches.
A graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a B.F.A. in both painting and art education, she has taught students art and photography in area schools for more than twenty years. Presently, Joanne is a member of the Academic Artists Association, Princeton Arts Society, Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod and the Worcester Plein-Aire Group. Her work can be seen at Gallery 31 in Orleans, MA.
