Joanne Adair  was born and raised in Dayton Ohio. Always interested in the arts, and nature from early childhood. Obsessed with all aspects- Drawing, sculpture, painting, designing clothes, etc. to violin in the school orchestra. Life goes on, and eventually art won again.

Meeting local artists that are well known in dayton and across the U.S., life in art was revisited but this time with more passion and impact. Family vacations to the mountains of New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada all played a part in the influence of colors and textures, while growing up, which gives her the drive and inspiration she has today.

Having worked on rusted steel in the beginning and still enjoys due to the natural texture and variations, now works on canvas. She loves using texture and/or creating illusions of, with acrylics.
