About the Artist...
Joanne Hunt is a professional artist living near Truro, Nova Scotia. Described as a contemporary realist, she creates both oil and watercolour paintings with an emphasis on colour, contrasts and strong design. Her art investigates the details found in everyday objects and strives to reveal the hidden visual wonders too often unnoticed. Joanne is largely self-taught as a painter and has nurtured and enjoyed her creative ways from a very young age. She was elected to the prestigious Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC) in 2002 and also to the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA) in 2005. She is represented by Gallery 78 in Fredericton, NB and has a third solo show which will open this coming October 2012. Her work has won numerous awards at national exhibitions and can be found in collections across Canada, the US and Europe.
