Joanna Simeone

ARTIST

I’m a working artist, wife and mother. Raised in the hustle of the Chicago suburbs, years later I found peace in a little town nestled at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. We’re a family of builders and makers, hunters and gatherers, readers and players. Most of all, we hope to love others really, really well. 

Because, as the great writer and theologian Richard Roehr reminds us, God is the Great Includer – we are the included. I feel this in my bones. I create art to reflect the goodness and beauty of this kind of ever expanding love.

A few random facts about me:

• I live for that moment when a laugh turns into a cry and back again.
• I'm a morning person in every sense of the word.
• Watching my kids lead with their hearts is my favorite hobby.
• I am married to the great mystery that is Peter Simeone.  We are a field study in the theory of opposites attract.

I trust you've found your way here to my art store for a reason, so let's find out what it is you need more of in your life, and paint that into existence!
