Also, in Trinidad she was awarded a scholarship by the Field Naturalists' Society to attend a Painting From Nature course under renowned bird illustrator, Arthur Singer at the Asa Wright Nature Centre in the heart of the rainforest.
Her own technique is unique, though, and she considers herself mostly self-taught.
Joanna’s artistic influences include the 19th century painter Michel Jean Cazabon, also from Trinidad, whose work hers is often likened to. Her greatest inspiration, however, is derived from her love of nature, old architecture and the vibrant energies of light and colour.
In Trinidad, Joanna has had seven successful exhibitions; however, most of her work is produced on commission. Her paintings have also been exhibited internationally as part of the Trinidad & Tobago Through The Eyes Of The Artist tour. Collectors in America and Europe have acquired many of her paintings; one hangs in the Vatican, another in the Prime Minister’s residence, Port of Spain.
Joanna is married with six children and resides in Stamford, Lincolnshire..’
