JOANNA CUTRI, a Los Angeles native, has an extensive visual arts background that spans the globe. Her paintings are collected internationally, featured in exclusive design projects, and exhibited in various galleries. Joanna has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in southeast Asia, Australia, South Africa as well as in the US and in Europe. She works in various sizes ranging from small, intimate studies to over sized 6-7ft panels. Her complex, personal style combines various mixed mediums and collage elements, resulting in layers upon layers of color, texture and imagery. The recurring theme and signature style of her work is a monochromatic palette, translucent, ethereal layers and fluid, dreamlike shapes that evoke a sense of calm and peace. Joanna's exposure to different cultures and world travels have greatly impacted how she creates and approaches her own work. Joanna lived and worked in Bali, Indonesia, for 10 years. Her vision of life and art were deeply inspired by the rich, creative culture and religion of the Balinese people, as well as the exotic, surrounding nature in which she lived in. Joanna also lived in the South of France in Biarritz for a year and a half to complete her collection of the Zhang Jie Jia mountains in the Hunan province of central China for her artist in residency program with the Nock Art Foundation in Hong Kong in 2014. Joanna received her Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia in 1998 after studying in Cortona, Italy. She currently lives and works in Southern California after having lived in New York City for 3 years.
