Joanna Hartle is an Essex based artist from the Midlands, known in more recent times as a Production Director and Executive Producer and change maker across the Creative Industries for which she was recognised as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2023.
Her work has been seen across the globe since 1989.
In the last few years she has stopped hiding her art practice under a bush.. She creates work that looks to liminal spaces and the unseen often unspoken emotions attached to people, places and things.
Joanna creates work that spans film (still and moving image), writing, sculpture and installation; at present her work explores the emotions of lived experience with authenticity, capturing moments. Her present works explore her relationship to the wider world as she rounds off one chapter and moves afresh back to her inquisitiveness of colour, shape and form.
Her latest pieces form part of ToMA (The Other MA - an artist run alternative art school) group shows :
April 27th - 11th July 2024 - Energy Console - Beecroft Art Gallery - TOMA Group Show
Life Spiral - rebirth (wood, graphite, time, memory), The Feminine, (pen, emotion, wall) Cast the first stone (stone, sigils, divine) In the shadow there is light (sun, sigil, wall)
