Galerie Old Chelsea is pleased to present a solo exhibition by painter Joanne Warren with hercaptivating body of work. Warren’s artistic vision is rooted in a lifelong fascination with the natural world’s layered complexity. From the delicate folds of a flower’s petals to the rhythmic patterns of waves on a lake, Warren’s work celebrates the hidden geometry and subtle textures that shape our environment. These natural elements serve not only as inspiration but as a compelling challenge—to capture their essence with fidelity, grace, and artistic integrity.

​

Her style gracefully spans the spectrum from stylized whimsy to striking realism, depending on the nature of her inspiration. Whether depicting the shimmering overlay of fish scales or the dense interlace of forest textures, Warren approaches each canvas with curiosity, precision, and deep respect for her subject.

Though her early artistic foundation was laid through night courses at The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Ottawa School of Art, Warren’s path initially led her away from the studio. Her career in international development afforded her the chance to travel extensively and absorb a broad array of artistic traditions and perspectives. Over time, her passion for painting was rekindled and infused her practice with renewed purpose and vision.

                                        

We invite you into Warren’s deeply observant world, where the intricate designs of nature are both muse and mystery.
