Joanne Hammer is an American artist whose work in painting, copper wall
Pieces and glass mosaic is often expressive of the Northwest environment where she lives and works.
References vary. The antiquities. Far off places. Layers of memory.
Most seductive however for her, is watching the land itself. From the studio animals, forest, meadow and pond, are all within her field of vision.
Having the time and quietness to keep watch over her surroundings, she is able to gather ideas and imagery in ways which are both sensory and experiential. More interested in instinct than idea she enjoys the small moments, the subtlety of change. Her hope is that the work expresses a lyrical intelligence.
