Hello, all you lovely people!

About Me

.. MyGen Profile Generator I'm an artist, mother and wife, not in any particular order. I'm interested in people, family values, fidelity, integrity and hope. My work at present reflects those issues in one way or another and so will my future work. I'm passionate about touching the lives of people who feel undervalued and irrelevant, not for my gain, but theirs. Obviously with that sort of ethic, comes great rewards anyway, so it's a winning situation. You can check out my website joannevance.com to view my work, read my news etc. "The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethic over convenience, and truth over popularity ... these are choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing". (Michael Moore)
