Art with Joanna

Art with Joanna is amazing from the moment the child first enters her studio until they leave with their wonderfully creative creations! All of our children (ages 6, 8 and 10) have been to Joanna's art classes and camps and they all ask when they get to go back again. Joanna is child-centered, kind, energetic and inspires a love of art...we are so blessed to have her in our community!

We have been pleased to send our daughters to Joanna's art classes and this site hasn't even begun to express her passion and creativity that is poured out on the students she inspires. We enjoy watching our girls as they learn new techniques and are encouraged to try new ideas at home. Joanna's classes have been a catalyst in our daughters love of crafts, painting and sculpting. Our girls have even been setting up art trading card making parties for our family during this time of isolation. We have many beautiful memories made together. Thanks Joanna!

Miss Joanna is my daughter's favorite person in the whole world! For the past couple years we've been giving our daughter art classes for her birthday and every time she has been over the moon about it. Joanna is the kindest most gentle most creative person I have ever met. We're so happy to have her in the region and if you've ever considered taking a class with her what are you waiting for? Do it! Her space is so welcoming and inviting and from what my daughter says, gets her creative juices flowing.

Joanna is one of the kindest and inspiring people I have ever met. Her art studio is a welcoming and safe environment! She works well with kids and encourages them to dive into their artistic abilities and really honours the use of their imaginations! Highly recommend any program she offers and so do my kids - Cranbrook is very lucky to have you!! Thanks Joanna!

Art with Joanna was the most fabulous experience!s I am a Grade 2 Teacher and I brought my class for a full morning field trip. First off, the environment Joanna has created in her studio inspires creativity. It is fun, colorful, filled with handmade creations and many of my students said "I never want to leave this place!". Students felt safe, calm and inspired to take creative risks in her studio.
Joanna is so fun to be around and engages with kids in meaningful ways. She meets them where they are at and in the short time she was with my class she knew them by name, supported their learning and left each student feeling encouraged and built up.
She had a wide variety of activities that expanded each child's Art repritoire. They experienced Art out in nature, used their hands to create, asked "wonder" questions, learned new Art techniques and left with many creations they could continue using at home.
This was one of my classes favourite field trips :) Joanna pours her heart and passion into everything she does and is an inspiration to be around. I would highly recommend Art with Joanna to any child or adult who is looking for an opportunity to be creative and have fun.
