The Year started with finishing a landmark commission ‘Timeless Durer Love’ a painting of a Wiltshire Crop Circle and a Hare in the position of Albrecht Durer’s Hare. This was the hare painting she fell in love with when she was young that inspired her to become an artist, little did she know at the time she would become well known for painting hares.

By the Spring Joanna and David, Joanna’s husband, bought a 1965 VW camper to travel around in (the year of Joanna’s birth) They took 3 months off which led into a cruise round the Mediterranean. Joanna celebrated her 60th onboard the Navigator, Regent Seven Seas.

David started a new job in Wales which lead to them buying their dream home, an Old Rectory with a separate studio in the grounds in Carmarthenshire. They decided it was time to have a Dalmatian puppy which they named Jas, short for Jasmin, to add to the family and for company for Ruby, their Bichon Frise. After moving in they have spent many moths decorating to make it their own.
