In designing an entry point to share through Sacred Geometry Joanna primarily works with the Labyrinth, Mandalas and the Flower of Life to continue on a journey of transformation, learning, healing and community. Most of her paintings reflect the symbolism of sacred geometry, whether as a sunflower, an abstract piece or a complex geometric design, you will find this common thread woven into her work.

Practicing the Healing Arts for over 30 years she continues to learn through the process of creation with others and in the sharing of knowledge the learning becomes even more profound.

' The purpose she shares on the journey of life is to plant seeds of creation through art & knowledge, inspiring others to know, be, trust, see & love who they are.'
