In all of her large and small scale paintings, Joanne Landis works exclusively with the figure. She attempts to create an environment for each figure that matches its internal geography. Landis’ primary interest is in that space between worlds; the internal and external, the physical and mystical. According to the artist, every element in my paintings speak of moments and events which saturates each canvas. Landis has an impressive exhibition record, spanning her twenty year career as a painter.
