During her abstract phase, Joanna Gilbert began experimenting with different collections of mixed media on canvas including the use of rich metallic’s, gold leaf and various mediums to create 3-Dimensional exciting, thought provoking art, which have been commissioned for both residential and commercial properties. Gilbert then moved onto portraits in 2007 as the demand for requests grew. She states, “There are always going to be fine artists who can create paintings like they are photographs, I like to turn photographs into paintings and add a little pop” Her most recent work has taken a more controversion route, for example ‘Painting Peace’ depicts an Israeli Soldier praying by the Kotel. ‘It was created to remind us that every day there are people, soldiers, fighting and praying for peace in Israel. I have a natural love and affinity with Israel and believe that this is the route my art should follow’.
