Joanne Binns
Kailey, 9 x 12 Oil on Canvas Board
Each of us sees the world differently… dreams differently… has a separate relationship with the world around us. In art, Joanne loves to share her perspective of things that call out to her. Something to share with others in a very special way!
Joanne is a real ‘East Ender’, having grown up, lived and worked in the east end of Toronto and in Durham. Her career spanned many roles in elementary education, including the privilege of teaching Art to students across all grades.
A love of The Arts has always been a passion, growing from wide exposure through many years of studying dance, as well as sharing various artistic interests with Mom. Since 2000, Joanne has focused on Visual Arts, painting in oil, acrylic and watercolour. She has won numerous awards including the Guild’s prestigious ‘Arthur’ award as well as ‘Best Oil’ and the ‘Lila Patton Award’.
She has painted many local scenes as well as images from travels across the globe. Although florals and architecture have been favourite subjects, Joanne has recently been studying portraiture (along with other subjects) at Wysotski Studios. Family, friends, and artists at the amazing Art Guild of Scarborough, provide valuable encouragement. She is truly grateful to the many people who have purchased her art over the past 21 years and is thrilled that they are enjoying her paintings in their homes and offices across Canada.
Joanne’s ‘in home’ studio is now completed and has been a wonderful refuge during the pandemic!
