Joanne Kells

Joanne Kells is a professional artist from Cambridge Ontario, currently a resident of Napanee, Ontario. 

From an early age, this nature-loving entrepreneur had her spark of imagination ignited by playing alongside her artistic grandmother, who encouraged Joanne to nurture her creativity. 

Inspired, Joanne has explored her artistic spirit by studying with some of Ontario’s most talented artists, in many different styles and mediums. This lifelong exploration has led to technical refinement and valuable insights.

This past year Joanne completed an online intensive art course which had her painting/drawing on average 4 complete works each week. This has been invaluable to Joanne as she discovered the mediums and tools that she loves to use.

A prolific painter, Joanne works tirelessly at refining her process and making new discoveries. Her use of layers, textures, mixed media, and collage help define her artistic voice and make her feel connected to each piece she creates.

“There is something about using your hands to shape the paper/media that feels organic,” she says. “It’s a tactile experience that comes straight from the inside.”
