JoAnne Blessinger- also known by her nickname, 'Joey'- is a self-taught and emerging artist who spent decades influencing visual innovation within the world of fashion. Prior to her rise as a painter in 2017, Joey was a taste-maker and designer, as well as a real estate broker. Her consummate search for beauty merges her diverse background- love of architecture, textile and color- to inspire compelling pieces that speak to the viewer’s search for meaning.

Joey’s process of discovery is both intensely deliberate, and open to chance, bridging her multifaceted passions. Her paintings, layered and lyrical, combine unorthodox shapes, bold hues and hidden undertones to compellingly take the viewer on an individualistic exploration of self perception. It is the quality of imperfection that interests her along with an excitement for the unknown, where inspiration is everlasting and always evolving.​
