ABOUT THE ARTWORK

So many possible titles for this one, not even sure what my own intent was other than it started out abstract then developed into this. So here is "Connection", open to interpretation, pastel on 600 grit #Uart paper 12" x 9", unframed. One thing is certain: humans are deeply tied to nature whether we want to admit it or not. Changes happen to our bodies and spirits just as trees and animals go through endless changes. I was inspired by the fall colors in a Japanese garden near me. So as the figure developed, I began thinking of our relationship to nature, and just how much it influences our very existence.

Joann Renner is a formally trained fine artist and content writer who has overcome trauma and medical issues by “grabbing the bull by the horns”, refusing to give up on herself and her passions. She seeks to inspire others to go fearlessly forward regardless of their circumstances, to break the stigma of mental illness through exhibiting her paintings so people are encouraged to thrive on their own unique paths, and to bring awareness to climate change issues. Her primary work is in Expressionist/Surrealist painting, using themes of looking for the unseen, a sense of experience, while exploring forgotten or overlooked subjects. Joann is deeply passionate about helping others manage their day-to-day mental health issues, and about exploring spirituality, climate change, and community legacy/historical preservation with her art exhibitions, content creation, and educational workshops. During the late 1960s-70s she grew up in York, PA and Seaside Heights, NJ alternately. She earned her BA Studio Art/Fine Art at the University of Pittsburgh, PA in 1986. She has had 4 solo exhibitions, and participated in numerous juried and nonjuried group exhibitions, including virtual exhibitions. Current member of the Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League and the Art Queens Society. Most recently, Joann is a featured artist in the inaugural publication of The Art Queens Quarterly Vol. 1 (AQ1), a hardbound collectors book highlighting the work of several members of the Art Queens Society, curated by Ekaterina Popova, published by Create! magazine. Her work is also featured in "Art and Woman", a collector art book curated and published by the Arts to Hearts Project, an international arts organization that supports women artists. The pastel painting, "Salmon Run", was featured in "Nocturnal Canvas 2" (Aug. 2023), a collaborative concert of art and music presented by world-renowned composer and pianist Margin Alexander, where original music was composed specifically for each artwork. Her pastel "Fancy Tulips" has been selected and featured on the cover of a collaborative 2023 calendar/planner project by a group of 80+ women artists. The acrylic abstract painting "Renewal" was selected as one of the designs for an inspirational affirmation card deck collaboration by a group of women artists.
