Joani has been around art all her life. Joani’s dad was skilled at just about every medium he took up and she would sometimes accompany him when he painted in plein air or watched over his shoulder as he worked on some new creation. She was intrigued at the time, and spent hours drawing cartoons and the like, but didn’t take up a serious interest in art until much later, when she discovered that some of that early drawing she’d done had paid off. At that point, Joani quickly branched out from drawing to painting and although she devoted some years to watercolor, where she did some commissioned children’s portraits, animals, and landscapes, in the past few years, she’s found immense joy in oil painting.
Joani’s paintings cover a variety of subject matter, but figures and shapes in the landscape that tell a story to which the viewer can relate are often what her paintings are all about. She likes to think she is capturing a moment in time and trying to put the love of what surrounds her onto a canvas for others to see and enjoy. Joani now spends many happy hours each day in her studio.
