Joanna Braithwaite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joanna Braithwaite (born 1962) is a New Zealand painter. Braithwaite has been interested in exploring exchanges between people and animals since studying at the School of Fine Arts, in Canterbury in the mid-1980s.[1] She has said her work has always tended toward the autobiographical, so what is happening in her environment creeps into the work.[2]
Braithwaite was born in Halifax, England, in 1962 and immigrated to New Zealand with her family in 1965.[3] She grew up in the township of Pleasant Point in rural south Canterbury. Since the mid-1990s, when Braithwaite spent two years living in Melbourne, she has exhibited regularly in Australia as well as New Zealand. She returned to Australia in 1999 and continue to live and work in Sydney.[4]
