Joanne'sArt Corner

Myself and Joanne enjoying some Fish & Chips in Bandon, Oregon 2014.

Joanne'sArt

My mother-In-law is a blessing. Never in life have I found someone quite the same and similar to my own way of thinking. She is a native Oregonian who stands for what she believes in, and will always tell you exactly so. I'm grateful that the universe ended up having her move in with us. We are a strange household, but life isn't fun without the spectrum of "weird" we each uniquely possess.  


Joanne L. White is a gifted artist full of eclecticism, imagination, and creativity on many levels. She is a great painter, a superb wood-carver, and also a Master Gardener. She's always creating and problem-solving various projects. This little corner of DavidsArt shows off some of her past work, but also serves as a gallery for recent projects, such as her mosaic collage on garden pots. Additionally, this corner shares some of the creative members and artists in Joanne's family. I appreciate her work and advice, but ultimately that she is here and still having fun making things!


With that, Welcome to Joanne'sArt Corner.


(Clicking on individual photos below in the Current Work or Past Work sections should take you to that category on the respective Joanne's Current Work / Joanne's Past Work pages. It's the best I can do with limited space on a site that has grown much larger than originally anticipated.)

More About Joanne and Her Family

Portrait of Joanne White, (c. 1960's) Silver Gelatin enlargement on photoboard (32 x 25 inches)

Joanne's Mother - Katherine Strauss

Katherine Strauss - Rugs and Handwork

Joanne's mother, Katherine Strauss, didn't think of herself as an artist.  However, Joanne and I both think she was quite talented. Katherine made numerous crocheted rugs throughout her lifetime, and they are works of art in their own right - if for no other reason than the time that it takes to construct one. The colors of cut felted-fabric strips she chose; their combinations and patterns, scream artistic genius alone! Before she died, she was kind enough to teach me how to construct them, albeit my understanding and technique was comparatively rudimentary. It was a lot of work - Katherine had iron hands to endure the repetitive technique of making one - my hands learned a lesson. Still, I feel blessed to have learned. 


Katherine Strauss, or Grandma Scroutch as my wife and son called her, was extraordinary at handiwork and the like. She was always prim and proper - not a hair out of place. We miss her. She passed at the incredible age of 94. 


Please enjoy her rugs, and other work, as we sure do -- there's one under my feet now as I type this. Nothing else like 'em.

    Joanne's Father-in-law - Frank Strauss

    Frank Strauss

    I was never fortunate enough to meet Joanne's father-in-law Frank (Katherine Strauss' second husband). But, from what I am told, I would have liked him and he would have loved everything and anything I was into as an artist. Frank made some wonderful woodcarvings and was meticulous about his tools, reading all directions, and keeping them in original boxes. Sounds like I could have learned a thing or two from him. 


    Frank made some wonderful wood carvings. Please have a look at his art.

      Joanne's Brother - Pat Dickenson

      I don't know much about Pat - just that her brother died in an unfortunate logging accident right after graduating from high school and is dearly missed. Joanne has kept and treasured, all these years, a small carving that he made around eight years of age.

        Joanne's Aunt Elva Spikes

        Elva Spikes was a talented untrained painter. Here are some of her paintings that I have been able to photograph to keep a visual record. Much of it has been passed on to family members.  

        AUNT ELVA'S PAINTINGS

        Thank you for looking at Joanne'sArt and some of her family's art as well.
