CV
Joanne's approach to painting is refined and uncluttered. She is concerned with the colour and pattern quality within her overall compositions. A patchwork of mark making including stripes, lines and dots combine in harmonious colour groups within her bold pictures of still lives and landscapes. Joanne is a member of the acclaimed Newlyn Society of Artists in Cornwall and has exhibited in Cork Street London, Italy and leading galleries in the South West. She has been published worldwide by the Art Group and is one of Cornwall's best known artists often working outside surrounded by the landscape. Joanne Short was born
in Oxford in 1967.
Joanne Short’s paintings are truly unique in their style and construction.
They bring to us a strong but gentle view of Joanne’ s world and
focus on the beauty, pattern and life that is found in the landscape of
Cornwall.
Joanne initially studied at Falmouth School of Art for two years in 1988
before going on to gain a first class degree in fine art and ‘Decoration’
from the Academy of Fine Art in Frosinone, Italy.
Her studies in Italy where quite different from an English art school
- with detailed research into restoration and anatomy - all in italian
and with many oral examinations; she is now a fluent Italian speaker.
During the course Joanne was chosen to represent the college by exhibiting
in Genoa, Palermo and Rome, She was also chosen to represent the college,
in an annual exhibition organised in Florence for all Italian Academies,
each choosing only three of its best pupils.
In 1991 Joanne was selected to take part in an International exhibition
with 15 other young artists in a tiny mediaeval village, Fumone, in the
county of Lazio. Joanne was awarded second place and a special mention
by the Art Critics in the catalogue.
Joanne moved back to her native Cornwall and in 1996 she had a one-woman
show 'Symbols of the Sea' which was a culmination of several years work,
including etchings, paintings, constructions, site-specific pieces and
poetry. Her work from this point has concentrated exclusively on painting.
Joanne's approach to painting is simple and uncluttered. She is concerned
with the pattern quality within her overall compositions. A patchwork
of mark making including stripes, lines and dots which combine in harmonious
groups within her bold pictures of still lives and landscapes.
Her paintings have been widely collected and admired.
