Artist JoAnne Crowson At Trillium Gallery 5450 Shirley St., Unit C
About The Artist
JoAnne is an abstract/impressionist artist based in Naples, FL who works in a free and intuitive approach letting the painting emerge through the color, movement, and lines applied to the canvas until the emotions of the piece emerge. Color is a powerful tool in invoking emotions on canvas and JoAnne couples the use of color with the music playing in her studio to maximize the piece’s energy. Her goal is to invoke an emotional response from her work based on vivid color, composition, and harmony. Each viewer’s response to JoAnne’s abstract work may differ slightly based on their experiences. Such is the wonderful concept of abstract art!
JoAnne’s art career blossomed after she retired from the corporate world. She fell in love with the creative process and the joy experienced when a piece was completed. She becomes completely immersed in the painting, waiting for the story to emerge, and trying to do the story justice. Sometimes the canvas will toy with the intuitive artist, presenting challenges and surprises.
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way—things I had no words for. Georgia O'Keeffe
