Jo Ann Williams Walker is an American impressionist painter. She loves strong abstracted brushwork and an analogous palette void of all earth colors. An avid traveler, she keeps her pochade and brushes poised for the next adventure – wherever it happens to take her. Her paintings reflect the majesty of the High Sierras in California as well as the foothills and mountains of the Carolinas. She lives and conducts classes in the Highlands each July. Her artistic mind and creative spirit have taken many years to develop – and she continues her pursuit of light and attempts to capture it on an ongoing daily basis.
