Welcome to Joan Osborn-Dunkle
At work in my studio
WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting my on-line gallery. It is my hope that you will enjoy your visit. Please take a few minutes to browse through the different galleries and series. My images can be appreciated for their subtlety, color and powerful, emotional content...

My art is intuitive, concerned with the magic of transformation, which reflects my curiosity of the "what if"? It involves a sense of freedom and unpredictability. I like to keep my art open to interpretation allowing the viewer to participate imaginatively in the creative process as well as challenge the spectator to be a part of the incomplete cycle, thus the viewer completes the work.

As an abstract artist, printmaker, teacher, lecturer, as well as a past gallery owner, I recently opened a contemporary gallery, OSBORN LIZIO CONTEMPORARY GALLERY - BAYFRONT FINE ARTS LLC with my partner Jo-Ann Lizio at 431 Bayfront Place in Naples FL. We will feature a number of artists and both Jo-Ann and I will be conducting classes and putting in place a mentoring program for artists.

I am able to move between the figurative to the abstract with ease. Currently I am accepting commissions. ? My delicate pencil drawing of homes will grace any home and will make a wonderful gift for Real Estate agents to give to their clients. My contemporary pieces using memorabilia that is hidden away in drawers is combined into a powerful and personal piece of art. (Be sure to check "COMMISSIONS"). These paintings have been well received. The work must first be a painting and then on closer examination the memorabilia comes to light becoming the focus of any room and a conversation piece!

As gallery owners, we are dedicated to working with home owners, interior designers, and professionals, offering a variety of consulting services - from aiding in the selection of art, to placing and hanging the pieces in ones home or office. We also have available ART FOR RENT. Please feel free to inquire about that program. In the meantime we invite your comments and by all means if you are in sunny Naples do stop by!
