acrylic on canvas, 20 x 20 inches (courtesy of the gallery)

Jo-Anne is an abstract artist working with acrylic paints and mediums. She studied Studio Art at Concordia University and is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.

Living on Vancouver Island, she is most herself in the Pacific Northwest forests, by any ocean, river, lake, pond or in her garden.” I love the immensity and the minutiae of the mossy rainforest floor; of the ripples and reflections in water and of the colours and patterns of flowers and foliage. I relish the solace, mindfulness and calm these places give me.  By opening my senses and lingering in nature I bridge the gap between nature and myself and find this state of soft fascination nurtures my art practice. – Jo-Anne Westerby
