Now based on Vancouver Island, Joanne Giesbrecht creates vibrant, light-filled paintings inspired by the natural beauty of Canada’s diverse landscapes. From her Maritime childhood to the prairies and Rockies of Alberta, and now the coastal vistas of British Columbia, her work reflects a lifelong engagement with nature’s color, texture, and atmosphere. With studies at the Alberta College of Art and Design and a background in education, she brings clarity, depth, and emotional resonance to her color-saturated compositions.
