Joan painted a 60" x 48" Great Horned Owl for us, and we could not be more thrilled. She was really responsive to our needs and the work she did is breathtaking. Her art hangs on the huge stone fireplace in the great room of the Lodge at Three Forks Preserve®. Once it is open to the public, the lodge will be used by scientists in residence who can help educate the public on their research. Staff from the Hamilton County Parks department can also help the public learn about the benefits of removing invasive plants and replacing them with native plants. Joan's art is the centerpiece of the room and it catches people off guard with its realism. Fantastic! More...

JOAN IS WONDERFUL & AMAZING! We were beyond thrilled with the beautiful digital artwork she created capturing my husband and our 4 beloved dogs! AKA “ The three Amigio’s plus One” Each one of them were brought back to life capturing their individual personalities in a vivid rendition of cherished moments we spent with them for many years! Joan took the time to capture the essence of every detail perfectly! The result was ASTONISHING! Not only was this completed in a timely fashion, but more so the impact it had on my husband and our family was truly heartfelt! We are all beyond grateful for her talent , kindness and willingness to create a gift that will be treasured for a lifetime! Thank you Joan for making Rays 60th incredibly special!
