Joanna Powell is an artist specialising in paintings of folk musicians, living and working at Sunderland Point, Lancashire.
Her oils capture the love every musician feels towards their instrument and the magical world they enter when they become “lost” in music. She is primarily interested in the shapes musicians make, the juxtaposition of shapes when they play together and the space created between them.
Her paintings have been described as “Modigliani meets East European Folk Art”.
