As an ex-professional artist, Joanne still creates a few original paintings (see below) and has pigment ink prints and cards. She also has a range of self paced observational drawing and painting classes available.

Original Artwork....

* Creation/Ideation Series

Express the humorous side of your personality and uplift yourself and everyone else who comes into your space...
“Joanne Deaker's art works are a light hearted representation of life and coming from a farming background we love her play on words and images. Joanne's art is often a fun and interesting talking point when our friends, family and children see her work!" Duncan Robertson, Bay Of Islands

- acrylic on stretched canvas

- acrylic/etching on plexiglass and board

Similar in design to some of the acrylic on canvas artworks, these artworks are hand made in design series, They use various techniques of etching and painting with acrylic on both the reverse side of plexiglass and on the backing board. Sometimes there is more than one version of the same design but each is uniquely different. Some are framed both with the backing board and an additional frame (see examples below).
There are currently only a few left in my studio - so please enquire if you'd like one.

* Bach Series

- acrylic/etching on plexiglass and board

Created as reminders of holidays, family, friends and fun. There are only two of these left..

* Exploration Series

These serve as daily reminders of beautiful places explored within the New Zealand Landscape...

- acrylic on canvas

'Sunset Near Mueller Hut' is the view from the rocky ridge of Mt Cook and beyond from Mueller Hut in Mt Cook National Park. All other acrylic paintings within this series have been sold.

- watercolour sketches

Many of these small (approx 14.5x21cm) one-off, original watercolour paintings were created on location sitting on a rock or on the side of a hill, right out there, immersed in NZ's spectacular landscape. I create them using pencil, watercolour paint and sometimes also watercolour pencils.
Each one-off original watercolour painting comes surrounded by an A4 (21x29.7cm) matt, backed with A4 archival board, and is slotted into a cellophane sleeve. Remove sleeve and place entire contents into a standard A4 sized frame OR take to a picture framer, where you can even change the matt if you wish as the 14.5x21cm painting is attached with easy-to-remove, acid free hinging tape (see pics below). For protection, artwork is shipped with extra board.

​These are what I currently have available... (to enquire about availability/purchase please contact me).
Each watercolour original is $150 (plus shipping).

"We found dealing with Joanne was a great experience and has given our art more of a personal touch being able to talk to the artist and discuss the artwork which we wanted to purchase.” - Duncan Robertson, Bay Of Islands
