Joan photographs mainly flora, fauna, landscapes and sometimes people in the Ottawa Valley.
In early morning light and the magic hour before the sun goes down, Joan never tires of travelling the backroads of the Pontiac and photographing that world, in all its moods.
Joan also loves to make pottery. She has developed a deep yellow Shawville Clay Glaze which she uses with her salamander, polka dot and paisley designs.
