JOANNE OLIVER
Currently a resident of Oxford, Mississippi, JoAnne Oliver spent her
formative years in Memphis, Tennessee and is a graduate of the
University of Mississippi. Oliver’s paintings are full of energy,
expression, and symbolism. Her textural abstracts have been widely
collected throughout the South.
Along with being an artist, JoAnne Oliver is also an author. Her
book,
Just Imagine It, is a series of original quotes written in
reponse to her own personal journey and are applicable to anyone
wanting to find inner peace and strength in a world of uncertainties.
“Creating abstract work is much like putting together a puzzle. Each
square inch is part of a whole. I want the viewer’s eye to roam the
canvas allowing time for the mind to play. Abstract art is
electricity and energy coming together through color and design.
This art form gives the audience a peek into my soul.” - JoAnne Oliver
Along with her abstract work, JoAnne also paints moving landscapes.
“Artists give people the wonderful opportunity to visually relive
their lives.” - JoAnne Oliver
