About the Instructor

JoAnne Redfern

There is absolutely nothing planned or deliberate about my work.  Trying new techniques with colors are what inspire me and dictating the next layer of paint.  Every interaction with the canvas is an organic gamble or an exercise in non-attachment.   

I work outside on the ground, no gloves or easel.  Most of my paintings have multiple layers of failures underneath.  I take risks without regret, knowing it will get better tomorrow.  I believe that a painting, like each day, should never be the same or easy to recreate.
