To the new people interested in my artwork, I welcome you :D You'll no doubt have spent some time having a look through my work and it is truly appreciated, and I hope you enjoyed yourself. Dont be shy if you want to get in touch! To those previous buyers and collectors all over the globe, you have all been delightful people to deal and work with, I feel lucky that from the work so many of you are now good friends, you support and encourage me with every compliment, critique or word of advice, it makes creating worth every minute it takes. Thank YOU.

This Website...

Is simply to show potential clients, friends and interested parties a selection of my latest work. I have had many creative endeavours in the past, and hope to expand the site over time to include older works, and newer explorations!

Jo*AnnA The Artist....

Lucky enough to express myself creatively from infancy onward, within art I am inspired by the notion that 'every mark should mean something'. Some pieces speak more simply, others there is just a lot to say - a story.

All my endeavours are subject to physical and mental energy and I want these energies to saturate my work.

The talent of Jean-Michel Basquiat was introduced to me by a fabulously respected designer and tutor when I studied to get my BA Hons Degree In the North UK. He told me the work I was creating had similar virtues, at the time I was not sure if it was a compliment, of course I researched, fell in love with his work, and was honoured!

The ambitions of Jackson Pollocks technique and scale as well as so many respected illustrators and designers inspire me to speak my own language....

Every creator should inspire you to speak your own unique languages ( you can have more than one :) but to Stay True 2- and this is my enduring ambition in whatever I do....

Live Love JO*
