HELLO Hello!

I’m Joanna! A Maryland native who enjoys painting and creating for others.

Growing up, art was ever-present in my life. At home, my mom’s art collection connected me to our family’s Taiwanese culture. And my best friends filled my childhood with countless sleepovers, hand-making cards for our church and scrapbooks for each other.

These fond memories taught me all the ways art can build a home, bring people together, spread joy, and serve others.

Joanna Hope Art is simply my love letter to my family, friends, and this wonderful community. I hope through this small business of mine, I can continue to share that joy for you in all seasons of life.

Fun Facts

1. Childhood friends call me Jo or Jojo.

2. If I’m not painting, you’ll most likely find me going for a run outside or exploring with my husband, our son, and dog.

3. I am an avid reader and usually read around 30 - 40 books a year.

4. I was a competitive swimmer when I was younger. And while I’m not much of an athlete now, I’m still the happiest when I’m around water.

5. My childhood friends and I started a stationary “company” called “spazmonkeys” in middle school. While we have thankfully since abandoned that brand, we are still best friends to this day.
