Joanne has worked with several painting mediums. She has related stories of how she sought advice on oil paintings from her own mother-in-law whom came to live with her. I find myself now coming to her for advice - typically with gardening solutions. It's good to have a Master gardener on hand.
One of Joanne’s oil paintings Triangles and Pyramids (1979) hung on display at the Butler Institute of American Art. I enjoy the blended painting and sculptural elements in it. My favorite painting is probably the Abstract City (c.1970's) piece that was part of my father-in-law's collection. I never knew was hers until recently when I looked at the back while sorting the many paintings and art we have in storage. I saved a bunch of Sumi brushwork paintings (ink on rice paper) that were once to be tossed out. I hope she doesn’t mind them ending up here.

*Has been displayed at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH.
I don't know how she does it - I can't work in 3D in this way. What I do know is that her carving work is fantastic!
A bit more about her carving of Pricilla Huffman and other carvings Coming Soon...
Portrait of Pricilla Huffman, (c. 1990's) Wood carving in Honduras Mahogany (20 x 16 inches) *was displayed at Coos Art Museum, Coos Bay, OR.
One of the best parts of rock painting is that after they are completed they are usually given away. Many are left in public places like parking lots or a park. Other good places include the hospital or cancer treatment centers. One of the best settings for them to be hidden is a playground where children can relish in the joy of discovering one. My son has found many over the years and seemingly has a real knack for spotting them. We are working on a blog or section so that pictures can be loaded (and for visitors to the site to post photos) of rocks that have been left around town, and if they are hidden again, to log the journey they take.
