Born in the Napa Valley in 1972, Joanna Nelson has always loved art and its power to amuse, delight and provoke. Joanna spends her days at her drawing table creating the charming fantasies which have become her hallmark. From Tikis to Ouija boards, Nelson mixes mordant humor with popular icons in enchanting concoctions of color and textures. She readily accepts commissions, tailoring her artistic creations to the individual tastes, themes and venues of her clients. Her keen sense of humor and brilliant thematic renditions have made her a favorite of Internet patrons of the arts. She is collected by a vast array of clients -- restaurateurs and innkeepers, software companies, wineries and individual collectors -- appealing to the whimsical, the childlike and the wickedly satirical all at once. Filled with wit, humor, fantastic imagery and a naivete of conception, Joanna Nelson's art can always be read on a deeper level if one looks a little closer, revealing several layers of meaning and, more often than not, another little chuckle. Her work is equally charming in the boardroom as it is in the nursery, the kitchen or the pool side bar, versatile, fun-loving and light-hearted. Joanna is currently selling her art work on ebay under the ebay ID: gr8shapes, and can also be contacted through email at [email protected]. Joanna is happy to adapt her images and artwork to many different media, from wedding invitations and theme parties, to letterheads and logos.
