“Driving along the windy roads in Prince Edward Island always makes my head spin!  There are so many incredible little spots to see and explore.”

Nova Scotia artist Joanne MacLennan has been an artist her whole life. Raised in both southern and central Alberta, she spent her childhood running through the prickly grasses of the prairies and building rock paths across streams in the Rocky Mountains. She has spent her years observing the stars in the night sky, gazing up at the tallest trees, and marveling at the little birds who use the wide blue sky as their playground.

Joanne focuses mainly on the beauty of nature and its surroundings. “My art practice is the way I connect with the world around me and share the joy I experience. The techniques I use to bring attention to the details of texture, colour, space, and contrast, are shaped in a way to draw the viewer in to savour every delicious detail.”
