Artists - Joanne Thomson
A stubborn watercolourist, Joanne was born in Northern BC where she developed resilience and determination. Thomson’s home is now in Victoria on Vancouver Island. Currently she is exhibiting art in two series- contemporary landscapes and bottled. Images in the landscape series evoke the deep forest or ocean intersections in a sophisticated interplay of line and colour. Images in the ‘bottled’ series depict human interactions, miscommunications and frustrations using simplified human forms and evocative use of colour theory. Thomson holds a Master’s degree in Adult Education and is in demand as a teacher of watercolour painting and drawing. For those who just want to colour, she has put together a colouring book of the bottled images.
Her works are in private and corporate collections.
Quails’ Tale:
Joanne is committed to her profession and to her community. She is an active member of the Island Illustrators Society and for 2008 is the president of CARFAC, BC ( Canadian Artists Representation). You will find her illustrations in The Garry Oak Gardener’s Handbook and on the cover of The Bridges community Handbook 7th Edition. We hear her classes are very informative and a lot of fun - they certainly sell out fast! See her website for more information.
Joanne’s work is colourful, uplifting and thought provoking. We hope you will enjoy her pieces as much as we do.
