I’m a watercolor artist dedicated to capturing the beauty of the world in luminous washes of color. Alongside creating original artwork, I share my passion through teaching lessons that help others discover their own creative voice. Whether you’re looking to bring a unique piece of art into your home or learn the joy of watercolor painting, my work is rooted in creativity, connection and the belief that art should be accesible to everyone.

Meet Sophie, my yellow labrador, who joins me on long walks through the park where I find endless inspiration for my paintings. Surrounded by nature, listening to gentle birdsong, my creativity awakens and ideas begin to flow. These moments outdoors not only fuel my art but also remind me of the joy in helping others and the beauty of playing with color to bring life and warmth into the world.

Lovely words from my clients.

  • Joan is the reason I am having so much fun painting! The reason she is an amazing instructor is that she breaks everything down so a beginner can learn without feeling self conscious. I tried painting before working with Joan but I was overwhelmed. Now, I look forward to it everyday. I even had someone want to buy one of my paintings!
