In February 2025, host Lynn Wyminga headed to Napanee to mixed media artist Joanne Kells. Listen as we chat in Joanne’s vibrant home studio on this episode of Studio Stories! We explore Joanne’s creative journey, from portraiture to bold floral works, and how she layers spray paint, stencils, and texture to bring her art to life. Hear how she found her artistic voice, built a creative community, and why she believes in making art fun.
