Bio:I am a freelance illustrator and portrait painter working out of Glen Burnie, Maryland. I live with my husband Mike and our three rats: Truffle, Carmen Sandiego, and Elle Driver. I grew up in White Plains, NY and moved to Baltimore to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art, where I majored in illustration and minored in art history. I graduated in May 2006 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Most of my illustration work is fantastical or mythological in nature. I'm very interested in exploring archetypes.

My non-professional interests include needlework (crochet and embroidery, mostly); sewing and costuming; reading; baking and vegetarian cooking; and collecting corsets, teapots, ornaments shaped like food, and unicorns. Mike and I attend and volunteer at the regional burning (i.e. Burning Man inspired) event Playa Del Fuego.

This blog will be used to share new work both finished and in progress and news updates concerning where you can find my work in print, online, or on exhibit.

Visit my website to see my professional portfolio and read about my past clients and honors. There is also a shop section where you can commission a portrait or order prints of my work. Feel free to contact me directly at joanna (at) joannabarnum (dot) com with inquiries about commissioning any type of work, for personal use or for publication.
