Contemporary Artist JoAnn Pippin: Her Story
JoAnn Pippin has been painting in watercolor for 15 years. Her primary studies were at the Art League School in Alexandria, VA, but she has also studied with other nationally acclaimed artists. Her landscapes and close-ups of nature have appeared in galleries and juried art shows in New Hampshire, Maine, California, and Colorado. The Artful Things Gallery in Lebanon, NH, and the New London Gallery in New London, NH, exhibit her original paintings and reproductions. She won First Place for her “Leaves and Reflections” in Art in the Park in North Conway in 2001; that work was also chosen by the National Watercolor society for display in the 2007 All Members Show. A second work, “Plants on Edge,” was exhibited in the 2009 National Watercolor Society 2009 All Members Show.
Her painting “Blue Flag by a Tidal Pool” was featured as the poster for the 2006 Portland, ME, Flower Show,
and her New England watercolor paintings have been recently exhibited at the River Valley Club in Lebanon, NH, the Forest Conservation Building in Concord, NH, and the Lyme, NH, Public Library. KEARSAGE MAGAZINE featured “Daffodils in Profusion” on their spring 2007 issue,
and the January 2007 page of the Musterfield Farm calendar is one of her works. A special series, “Boathouses of Lake Sunapee, ” was exhibited in the summer of 2006 at the New London (NH) Inn.
JoAnn Pippin began selling her paintings in summer art fairs and galleries in 1995, after she retired from a career in electronic publishing. She and her husband, Ron, have lived aboard a boat, cruising along the Intercoastal Waterway from Maine to Key West, and also crisscrossed the United States and Canada many times in their camper. Each year they spend several months as National Park volunteers, and have worked at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, and Acadia National Park in Maine. They have recently moved to Boone, North Carolina, a place with an abundance of mountain scenery.
