Joana Popet  (1973-2024)

In Memoriam

Joana was a visual storyteller painting with acrylic mediums.  She was a member of Ginger Cook’s Fine Art and Acrylic painting Academy and began creating art in 2019.  She first began painting as a form of therapy and self healing. Then, she had the opportunity and privilege to acquire more knowledge and be mentored by the American master acrylic artist Ginger Cook.  She became hooked on creating an original diverse portfolio.

Joana loved bold and bright color pallets, animals and the influence of pop art and impressionism.  Her favourite artists were Andy Warhol, Vincent Van Gogh, Ginger Cook, and Georgia O’Keeffe.

A large part of her work was dedicated to creating unique, colourful custom pet portraits. She loved seeing the reaction of her customers upon unveiling their commissioned painting and seeing their real emotions that come from owning a forever portrait of a beloved animal or a painting of a special place or subject.
