Joanna was born in Sussex, and now paints from her countryside studio in Essex. Her early work explored a variety of genres, techniques and subjects, allowing her to enjoy freedom and unencumbered expression.

In her exploration of acrylic on canvas, her artistry has blossomed, shifting seamlessly towards the realm of abstraction. This manifestation captures her innermost emotions, nurturing a boundless wellspring of creativity. Translating a 'feeling' into shape, form and colour has evolved into a profound cathartic experience for Joanna. She is intrigued by the never ending loop of interpretations her viewers respond with, often transcending the boundaries of the physical world. This way of creating and communicating feels most authentic to her.
