About the Artist

Joanne Coughlin is a Calabogie based contemporary and abstract artist who has been creating art for over forty years.  She grew up in Québec City where she began painting landscapes in oil.

After completing a degree in Commerce from the University of New Brunswick, she moved to Ottawa and started a career and family.  She continued to create art in many forms.  She owned and operated a home-based business called JC Designs which focused on creating hand painted clothing sold at local art fairs.  She also co-owned a women’s tennis apparel business called Racquet Rags in the early 1990’s.

After a thirty-one-year career in Government and the Aviation Industry, she retired in 2008 and moved to a lake outside of Ottawa with her husband and renewed her love of art.  She has been painting full time ever since. 

 

Although mostly self-taught Joanne has completed a number of art classes and workshops in Canada and the USA.  She is a member of the Ottawa Art Association, The West Carleton Art Society and Arts Carleton Place.
