"I am SO grateful to Joan for painting The Guardian for me. I am a VERY, VERY satisfied customer!"

CG, Townsend, Wisconsin

"I have been visiting Joan since I was 8 years old, so I knew when Angie and I bought our first house, Joan's artwork needed to be a part of it. We asked Joan to represent our life together as a family of bears, and she went above and beyond as always with her incredible talent, creativity,and her unbelievable ability to let the wood tell a story. We are forever grateful to Joan for being able to tell our story through this beautifulpiece."

"We wanted something to remember great times living in Arizona as well as our life spent in Wisconsin. Who better to capture the memories of our “Two Lives” than Joan White. Having several of her pieces already, we knew she was the right person to create a very special piece. We gave her a list of the items we wanted and we were so excited to see the perfect piece of wood she chose to make this creation. She has exceeded our expectations, as usual, with what she created for us. Each time we look at our new painting we are reminded of the great life we have both experienced together. We will always be grateful to Joan for capturing our Two Lives."

"I wanted to surprise my husband with a painting depicting the birds and pollinators that we work to attract toour suburban Chicago yard & gardens. To my delight the final painting is stunning and captured my visionbeautifully. It includes many colorful birds, butterflies, bees…even flowers, trees, shrubs and critters we see inour yard. Joan was happy to participate in the surprise for my husband which made it so fun for everyoneinvolved! Throughout the process she was so easy to work with and was very attentive, always striving toensure that she was delivering what I wanted. Joan’s painting is a treasured piece in our home."

"I don’t know where to start: Joan made the whole commission experience so easy and enjoyable. She is such a gentle soul and listens patiently to your vision and explains every part of the process clearly. We were even able to follow the progress, too! The finished piece has its own feeling and energy-it represents the Northwoods atmosphere we enjoy so much and looks beautiful on our main living area wall. Everyone who sees it is drawn into the scene that seems to come alive. We are so thankful to have a Joan White original and consider her art priceless!"

We've owned several Joan White pieces through the years and loved every one of them. They all were lost in a wildfire in Colorado. We were heartbroken to lose our cabin perched in the most beautiful setting imaginable. I asked Joan for an original piece that would encompass our Kawuneeche Ranch and sent her a written story of what the place meant to us and photos of the wildlife that gathered in the meadow and on our front porch. She understood in her soul the vast depth of our loss. The original piece captures the natural beauty and wildlife and will help us in forever remembering our special place. We are replanting and rebuilding. Joan's piece will hold an honored spot when we have completed our new cabin. Using her insight, love of nature and incredible talent, she captured the heart of soul of what we needed.
