Original Artwork

Joanne's artwork currently falls into five different series...a selection of which is shown below. To see more artwork within each series please scroll down...
"I believe in the power of images to uplift: they enable us to remember the good within us and within our world despite how the world might sometimes appear. This is the aim of all the artwork I create - whether it evokes pleasant memories, brings a smile to your face or whispers a message to your soul. My artwork brings me joy, peace and inspiration. ​It is my sincere hope that it does this for you too."

Creation/ideation series (on canvas)


​CLIENT TESTIMONIAL “Joanne Deaker's art works are a light hearted representation of life and coming from a farming background we love her play on words and images. Joanne's art is often a fun and interesting talking point when our friends, family and children see her work! We found dealing with Joanne was a great experience and has given our art more of a personal touch being able to talk to the artist and discuss the artwork which we wanted to purchase.”
- Duncan Robertson, Bay Of Islands (Owner ‘High Country Master’ and ‘Fashion in the Field Joanne Deaker Originals)

Creation (on Plexiglass)

Hand made in repeated series of similar designs to those on canvas but using different mixed media techniques and/or colours on plexiglass and board, these are all original in their own right. 
Currently only a few left (Joanne's studio or Hoglund Art Glass Gallery) - so please enquire if you''d like one.

Bach (on plexiglass)

Contemporary pieces created in layers over many days with various mixed media techniques on plexiglass and board. Most have a 3D quality.They were inspired by Joanne's love of little old buildings around New Zealand's small towns, and the memories they evoke of holidays, family, friends and fun in the shared connection that makes us human.
Currently only a few of these left (Joanne's studio, the Majuba Gallery or Wooing Tree Winery) - so please enquire if you'd like one (or join the new release mailing list to have first dibs on new ones coming soon).

Exploration series (on canvas)

Relax into the incredible beauty of the New Zealand Landscape (Note: Spot the trampers in some of them!)

Geo-Graphica on plexiglass

Short for 'geometric graphic', these semi-abstracts are developed into recognizable forms from geometric shapes. This series includes landscapes, cityscapes and various other shapes including yachts and wineglasses.
Currently only a few left (Joanne's studio or at the Majuba Gallery) - so please enquire if you'd like one.
