Joanna Kaufman – Visual Artist & Writer
Her paintings, illustrations, and written work take form in books, as prints on paper, and as original works for exhibition and by commission. Joanna works primarily with water media, transparent watercolors, and opaque gouache paints in her visual art. She enjoys bringing natural subject matter and uniquely created characters to life on paper. An enduring interest in her work is with insects, especially moths, bees, beetles, and cicadas.
Joanna has worked as a teacher of language acquisition and art to children and adults in the United States and abroad and has collaborated on text-image projects, including illustration of thirteen story books.
Her visual work is held in public collections of the City of Portland, Oregon, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
Joanna holds a MFA in creative writing from Pacific Northwest College of Art, Willamette University, where she is the recipient of a 2022 Alumni Fellowship.
She lives in Trout Lake, Washington, at the base of an active stratovolcano and near the site of a village called Cranes’ Place, for sandhill cranes which nested in wetlands historically part of the Yakama and Cowlitz homelands.
