ARTIST STATEMENT

Joanne Stead is a self-taught artist based in Tamworth, NSW. Describing herself as a “mum, artist and life enthusiast,” she recognises and draws on her surroundings, current issues, and “everyday magic” in her artmaking. “I believe that two of most important things in life are a sense of belonging and a sense of purpose,” Joanne says. “Feeling that you belong connects you the world around you, and feeling that you offer something meaningful connects you to society, so to have both is critically foundational. Reconnecting to my artistic side, as a reflection of what I can uniquely offer to the world, has been a major turning point for me.” A diverse artist, Joanne works across mediums including scraperboard, acrylics and linocut, with works depicting a range of subjects from her own experience and imagination. Climate change, species loss and the creation of a shared vision for the future, form a recurring theme in her current work. A founding member of the Tamworth Regional Art Collective, Joanne has also worked on seven public art projects over the last five years, including a number of murals and three large mosaic installations.
