Classical Art Training
During her three years of classical training at The Florence Academy of Art in Italy, Joanna learnt the traditional academic methods of the 19th Century European Ateliers, enabling her to heighten her contemporary paintings with a stroke of classical realism. Below is a selection of her paintings from her academic studies.
