Joanna Burch

Joanna Burch, a native Texan, grew up along the south Texas shoreline and has spent most of her life there. As a result, her love for coastal activities found it's way into much of her early artistic work. Observing those special moments of interaction with family and friends, through body language and colorful objects of fun and play, has inspired her to create wonderful, everyday, scenic images which embody many of her coastal paintings.

Currently, her colorful still lifes and vibrant bird paintings reflect her latest interests with unusual light effects, colors and motifs. With the encouragement of friends, family and other artists, she has spent many years perfecting her skills in a variety of media including watercolor, oil, and oil-on-porcelain painting. However, she still remembers her first medium- Crayola crayons. Her formal training was in the graphic arts, and she continued her studies over the years with many well-known fine artists throughout the U.S.

Joanna's maintains a number of professional affiliations as a result of her concentration in certain media; these include the State Federation of Porcelain Artists of Texas, and both the Southwestern Watercolor Society and the Texas Watercolor Society. Joanna also takes the time to help others expand their skills, contributing articles to publications like "The China Painter" (the official publication of the World Organization of China Painters) and the Magazine of Porcelain and Glass Painting.

As Joanna herself puts it:

"I strive for interesting shapes and patterns, and gravitate toward strong light sources and deep shadows. I love crisp lines and smooth paint stokes. I am very passionate about my painting journey and know that it is ever-changing and constantly evolving. As I step out of my comfort zone to make new discoveries, I hope to bring those discoveries and adventures to my viewers so that they may share in the excitement brought about by art. Art enriches our lives".
