A Note from Joan

Making a living with your passion is something wonderful we all hope for.   As a child, it was simple - I would become a painter.  Endless hours of drawing, fueled by bringing dreams to life made this path clear.  Unfortunately once I gained the ability to accomplish what I wanted, I didn't know how to apply it in the secular world.  15 years later I found my niche as a muralist.

As a 4th generation Idahoan and Boise resident, I love this area and its natural beauty, but imagination has taken me far from here.  Both parents are talented artists and gave me inspiration and guidance, then I took as many art classes as public schools would offer.  Several university and local classes, plus piles of art books have all helped in artistic development. Endless enthusiasm is still the driving force to expand and learn even more.

The challenges of mural painting are exciting, and the outcome is equally so. The adventures I have had and wonderful people I meet are all a part of the joy this career has brought. Helping others to see their own fantasy world and always learning more is most rewarding.
