The biography.

I grew up in Vancouver and graduated from UBC with a Special Education Teaching Degree.  Now retired, after teaching for 30 years, I have time to to explore my passion for art.

I am very grateful to my friend and mentor Ken West who has influenced my artistic expression.

2021 needs to be a year of new beginnings.  We need the inspiration to find it and make it a reality.  Joanne's work is the light we need on our lives.

Her presentation of Vancouver as a beautiful and engaging city of nature is astounding.  From the otherwise mundane subject of a private home to the splendor of Burrard Inlet, the vibrancy of her work will usher in a sense of hope from a person starting a new chapter in her own life.
