Joanne is an artist based in Glasgow, working across traditional craft disciplines. Craft based practices are integral to her work, taking inspiration from the built environment and architectural details. She strives for an understanding through making, with an interest in how work in the public realm can be utilised as a tool for storytelling. Such explorations have led Joanne to embroidery, wood-working and mosaics, in which she has developed a strong visual language. Joanne graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2015. Her most significant work to date is, ‘Queen’s Park Mural’, a permanent public mosaic located on the Southside of Glasgow.
Joanne is taking part in the Building Arts Programme 2022, run in collaboration with The Prince’s Foundation. She hopes to consolidate her skills in addition to working collaboratively with other like-minded craftspeople. It is important for Joanne to produce work of a high standard which uses appropriate and sustainable materials, aiming for an ambitious and rewarding output that lifts up those around her.
