After gaining a first class honours degree in design in 2014, Joanne chose to specialize in textile art combining drawing and painting with hand and machine embroidery.

Influenced by botanical illustrations united with an exploration of the imagination, Joanne creates distinctive and wonderful representations of art found in nature.
