I see you - series 2019
As the artist’s circle of friends grew though the art evenings she organised and taught in local community centres, Joanna developed into a new way of working - moving from large colourful oil portraits to intimate close ups of faces in a looser, faster style in water colours and then in inks. 'I See You' - a series of ink paintings are the result of this stylistic development of focusing on faces where she also reduces her palette to just one or two colours. In these paintings, the ink flows and curls with almost a life of its own on clean white paper.
