Joanna's father was an artist and she has been drawing and painting all her life. "I love both landscape and portraiture, for which I take commissions," she says. For 14 years Joanna lived in Cornwall and enjoyed painting the moody and dramatic landscape. She worked primarily around the Camel Estuary, the coastal scenery of Rock and Padstow, the North Cornish coast and Bodmin Moor. Following a move to Somerset in 2015, she is enjoying discovering a new landscape around the north and south Devon coasts, the Blackdown Hills, the Quantocks and the Mendips – a new focus on trees, woodland and softer farmland. "But I continue and will always continue to go back to Cornwall." Joanna works mainly in acrylics, which she loves for their versatility - on canvas, watercolour paper or board. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset.
