Portland, Oregon born and raised Joann Lundberg graduated from Linfield College in 2006 with Departmental & Thesis Honors in Studio Art, and a minor in Spanish. She is interested in Surrealism, people watching, breakfast for dinner, a quick wit, satire, Anais Nin and creative catharsis.
After a meticulous exploration of figurative painting resulting in her thesis show, Ugly People with Beautiful Problems, at Linfield’s Renshaw Gallery, Jo has expanded her repertoire of work to include different styles and genres. Her experimentation led her to dabbling in non-objective & abstract art, realism, and mural art including a large scale mural for the Nike & Wieden and Kennedy 25th Anniversary Gala and a conceptual piece for Burning Man.
Jo was a resident at Poethouse Art in Bend, Oregon for three years where, in addition to developing her creative process and individual style, she was actively involved in community outreach. Jo’s educational involvement includes teaching classes such as Art Movements and Techniques, mural painting workshops and facilitating therapeutic art groups.
Jo has shown at Blackfish Gallery, the Portland Art Center, Coalition in San Luis Obispo, and at Paramount Studios during Design For Humanity, an art, music and fashion sponsored by Billabong to raise awareness and support against child soldiering in Northern Uganda. Her work is in private and public collections, including St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, Oregon.
When Jo is not at the studio she likes to run amok.
