Inspired by visions of an idyllic world, Joanne Netting invokes a sense of purity and innocence as the emotional tone of her work. Each inviting scene is skillfully simplified with the clarity, order and balance dictated by the artists intuitive sense of composition and design.

Her colorful landscapes conjure fantasies of tropical getaways, and the relaxing breezes of an afternoon spent on the verandah. Her paintings depict wonderful views overlooking the blue depths of an island cove, or tropical plantation with the lush green hills of the forest in the distance, invoking the simple pleasure of an afternoon in the peacefulness of nature.

She is most influenced by the coastline of Australia, the country of her birth, and where she dedicated herself at a very early age to painting.
Capturing the universal desire for a peaceful paradise, Netting's work has enchanted an international audience.
