Joan Jannaman

Lakehill Studio 

Joan Jannaman was first introduced to the arts by her father, an accomplished artist from Wilmington, Delaware.  After graduating from the University of Delaware with a degree in Art Education, she worked as an art teacher at the Sanford School in Hockessin, Delaware.  She continued to study at the Philadelphia College of Art in the field of illustration.

After moving to North Carolina, Joan began freelance work in illustration and advertising design.  This soon led to a position as an illustrator for the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Unit and the team in charge of the U.S.S Monitor project.

Moving to Texas, Delaware, and Tennessee brought the Jannamans happy years raising their two boys.  During this time Joan decided to concentrate her work in oils and return to her lifelong passion for horses.

Her award winning paintings have since been published in various equine themed magazines and have been exhibited throughout the US and Canada.

Joan’s studio is located in Hendersonville, TN near Nashville.  A childhood full of riding, showing, and caring for horses gave her the insight needed to appreciate the intricacies of depicting their form and spirit.  Joan’s goal is to translate the love of her subjects into an heirloom portrait that becomes a treasured addition to your art collection.
