About
Hello, I'm Joanne
Artist, maker, and creative soul embarking on a new chapter. After years of nurturing a dream, I'm finally dedicating myself fully to the art and craft that has always called to me.
My work spans fine art paintings, intricate laser etchings, handcrafted pieces, and thoughtful design work. But more than the medium, what drives me is the connection with materials, with ideas, and with the people who engage with what I create.
"Art should be accessible, joyful, and deeply human."
The Journey
How I Got Here
The Creative Spark
For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to making things. Painting, building, crafting, turning whatever was to hand into something new. That spark never left.
The Quiet Shift
Lockdown gave me time to think. I started painting seriously again, filling sketchbooks and canvases. Something was changing. I could feel it.
Taking the Leap
I set up my studio, invested in a laser cutter, and began creating the work I'd always envisioned. Terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure.
Jo in the Making
Launched my first Sip & Paint evenings, started selling work online, and began building a community around creativity and connection.
Growing Every Day
Today my practice spans painting, laser etching, workshops, and events. Every piece I make, every person I connect with feeds back into the work.
