About this artwork
Self-reflection is the driving force behind Joanne Handler’s newest works. In her most recent series, Handler uses the unbridled freedom of abstract expressionism to lay her ground, giving her the perfect starting point. She then incorporates figuration and photo transfers culled from her many years as a photographer, occasionally adding small objects, either found or of personal importance. By integrating these elements into her latest paintings,…
Handler brings together her past and her present in the context of an uncertain future.
Joanne Handler’s layered and textured mixed media paintings subtly address notions of inner conflict, building on a series of oppositions and the blurred lines that exist between them- light vs. dark, hope vs. despair.
Her paintings go beyond self-examination to respond to current events within the framework of both global and personal history while exploring such themes as memory, perspective, self-determination, community and motherhood.

« From the moment I held a paint brush and laid paint to canvas, I have been hooked. I didn't know I wanted to be an artist until then. »
Joanne Handler is an American artist whose paintings have been featured in exhibitions nationally. After working for years as a photographer, Handler decided to switch mediums and try her hand at painting. Through vibrant colors, she creates large abstract works on canvas using varied materials, from acrylic and oil to spray paint and charcoal. A recurrent theme in her work is her love of music; she names every painting after a song that has inspired her.
