Joanna Powell
Joanna Powell is an artist specialising in paintings of folk musicians. She lives and works at Sunderland Point, Lancashire, a small fishing village which can only be reached by a causeway, cut off by the tide twice a day.
Joanna studied Fine Art at the Storey Institute, Lancaster, before moving to Scotland, where she became immersed in the rich musical culture, both as a musician and an artist. After bringing up her family in Scotland, she moved back down to Lancashire in 2015.
Her oil paintings capture the love every musician feels towards their instrument and the magical world they enter when 'lost' in music. She is primarily interested in the shapes musicians make, the juxtaposition of shapes when they play together and the space created between them.
