JOANNA art

Winding down a dusty road and through a cedar hollow you will usually find Joanna Reed Caldwell painting in her country studio in Coldwater, Tennessee. Signed simply “JOANNA”, her work is known for its whimsical and entertaining appeal.

Painting since childhood, Joanna began a formal education in fine art, but ultimately chose her own style to pursue. Working with interior designers and select galleries she has placed her painted furniture and numerous paintings in richly appointed homes across the country. Her more famous acrylic paintings feature charming French and Italian waiters, often poised in front of a bistro. Much of her colorful work has been reproduced and licensed allowing for international exposure and sale. Her current works consists of fox hunting folks and Polo players and the unpredicted, good humored scenes that go along with the traditional sports. All of her work, from her whimsical furniture to the merry waiters have a fun and fanciful often dreamy feeling.

If one needs to categorize Joanna’s work or the kind of artist she is, they would not use traditional art terminology. “I’ve created my own category. Today I am calling it “Soulfulism”. “I love to watch my viewers’ expressions. If I can touch a soul, evoke a smile or even a chuckle, then I feel that I have accomplished something!”
