Joanne Campbell is a watercolour and mixed media artist based in Coombs, on Vancouver Island BC. Watercolour is her medium of choice and her style leans toward intuitive abstract impressionism. Her paintings are inspired by natural forms and feature organic colours and textures. While her paintings are inspired by nature, they do not portray nature.
‘Nature is perfect and I would feel embarrassed trying to replicate it. But I can partner with it, using the chemistry of its materials, to give form to the feeling of being immersed it.”
Campbell’s other careers have included magazine publisher, writer, and Creative Director in various radio and print capacities. She has a Master of Arts degree in Communication, and an affinity for very odd jobs.
