Joanna Dalby

Joanna is a professional oil painter inspired by her local area. She describes her inspiration as "a moment captured, noticing a tree, a reflection in water, a glimpse of a landscape, the play of light and shadow, I am constantly inspired". Her approach is to begin by 'sketching' with loose washes of paint building up the layers whilst working on the composition. Texture and colour are equally important elements. She said "my strokes and mark making move between loose to gentle, almost poetic". Her process is about expressing not only visually but by "capturing the emotion of the moment". She works on colourful abstracts and figurative moody landscapes. Her paintings reflect the way she sees the world "through colour, sensitivity, passion and emotion".

Joanna is a regular exhibitor offering a large variety of work in various sizes presented in a light, spacious and relaxing setting. She also undertakes commissions.
