JoAnn Chartier

 

​

JoAnn Chartier lives in Cheshire, OR. She is an artist who layers ideas about geology, physics and history into her paintings and prints. Working in series over the years she has explored creation myths, plate tectonics, string theory and delved into the mental/emotional landscapes of ordinary life. In the Creation Myth series she digs into muti-cultural histories for stories about beginnings; in the Journey series she probes dreams and popular culture to discover personal landscapes; and, most recently, in Alternate Realities, she wonders what theoretical physics, minus the math equations, would look like in paint on canvas.
