JoAnn Chartier
JoAnn Chartier 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.
Known for her large contemporary landscapes, lush color and inventive techniques. JoAnn Chartier has distilled more than 30 years experience as a painter in both oil and acrylic.
She has shown in numerous invitational and solo shows and has taught classes in different areas of the Northwest. JoAnn is an Art of California Discovery winner with Bronze awards in Traditional and Contemporary categories and has work in a number of public and private collections.
JoAnn is the featured artist for Kenneth B Gallery from January 22 - March 7, 2015.
