About

Joanne is a semi-retired elementary school teacher whose university degree includes a major in Children’s Art. Currently living in Calgary Canada, she began studying watercolour and encaustic painting in recent years. Through extensive coursework with a local award-winning watercolour artist, she is learning to push colour values using a limited palette. Inspired by the textures and colours found in nature, she strives to represent these in new and interesting ways.
