JoAnn’s Studio / Bio

JoAnn’s Studio

JoAnn plays in clay, making sculptural serving pieces, tea cups, tea pots, and so much more. She paints and creates collages using various textures. All the bath products for the tents including soaps, salts and room sprays were created by JoAnn. She even designed and built her own unique outdoor bathroom to enjoy the quiet solitude of an evening bath time. Other talents include weaving baskets and making wreaths. She calls herself a multimedia artist who is inspired to create.

One of her greatest gifts is her ability to guide and inspire others by helping them to create their own vision boards. She allows them to look deeper into their own souls and find their own true passions. Magical and revealing, this process has been life changing for many.

Her studio overlooks a beautiful wildflower meadow. Like all artists, there are always special creations that come along that are inspired by nature, the farm or just creative living.  The sculptures and interesting artistic expressions that are sprinkled all over the property attest to this creative inspiration that is so prominent at The Martyn House.
