Joanna Layton

Joanna Layton
   Joanna began creating art with private lessons in junior high with Becky Kinloch and started to get involved with the art community at her school. She continued with private lessons in high school with Jeff Daniels and travelled to Washington, DC four times with art teachers from her high school. She was awarded a full ride scholarship to study art education at Bellevue University, but decided to travel the country instead. She learned to blow glass, wrap crystals, and tie-dye, as well as continued to paint on her travels crisscrossing the country in a remodeled school bus. She started a family while on the road and moved back to Omaha when her father had a heart attack. She has lived here for 14 years and has created pieces in her spare time until a traumatic brain injury resulted in her having chronic neuropathy over a year ago. She was no longer able to work so she turned back to focusing on art which quickly became therapeutic and helped her with her neuropathy. Over the last year she has created over 100 pieces and has sold some of them to buyers from all over the country. Joanna is currently focusing full time on her art work as a career.

"Art is a way to communicate without words. A way to draw on emotions, feelings, and vibes, pull people together and be a catalyst for a new experience. It then becomes a record of the of time--a beautiful memory caught on paper. It is life lessons and dreams, therapy and peace, horrors stories transmuted into hope for the future."
