About the Artist
Joni Finnegan
Inspired by a deep appreciation and love of nature, Joni uses paints and brushes to create images of beauty on canvas drawn from the visual feasts that surround us. This current collection of paintings is created with oil paints on various canvas surfaces. She finds the texture and maneuverability of this medium works well in painting “en plein air” with nature’s unpredictable conditions as well as in the protected environment of her home studio. The progression of turning those puddles of paint into beautiful images can take just a few hours or several days. Capturing that perfect moment before the light changes when working outdoors often necessitates a quick plein air painted sketch on small canvases, with refining touches and finishing in the studio. The small plein air paintings along with the artist’s photographs are used as references for larger studio creations.
Her paintings reflect the softer side of our outdoor world bringing beauty, peace and tranquility to the viewer.
Joni Finnegan’s work is widely owned both privately and in the corporate setting. You can find her original paintings, gift cards and giclee prints locally in juried Sales galleries:
§ Bluff Country Artists Gallery in Spring Grove, MN
§ Cornucopia Art Gallery in Lanesboro, MN
§ Artists home studio - Finnridge, rural Lanesboro, MN
§ Lanesboro Local Downtown Lanesboro, MN
