Joanne, born in Darfield, New Zealand, works from her Christchurch studio. Her paintings explore various subjects, including history, advertising, and the natural environment, often infused with humour.

Characterised by bold design and fine detail, her work invites the viewer to explore the scene. Joanne often employs irony to comment on events, resulting in quirky and thought-provoking pieces. Through her art, she expresses her mixed Māori (Ngāpuhi) and NZ European heritage, incorporating hei-tiki and taonga from her childhood. Her art reflects her commitment to conservation, particularly of waterways and the ocean. Joanne has exhibited throughout New Zealand and in New York, with works in international collections, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, the UK, Italy (Benetton Collection), the US, and Australia. Her unique perspective and style have earned her a notable presence in the art world.
