Australian Contemporary Mixed Media Artist Joan Stratton lives in the tropical Far North Queensland, Australia. With roots in graphic art, technical drafting and design, Joan’s journey spans decades of creative evolution, from traditional mediums to her signature Ether Art technique. An Ether Artist, what’s that? It’s the name she chooses to use for her digitally hand-drawn art style, because it starts from nothing and becomes something layered and alive that tells a story, captures emotion and provides a splash of vibrant colour and textures that brighten any wall. Her vibrant home and natural surroundings are a constant source of inspiration, reflected in the expressive movement, colour, and rhythm of her work. Blending traditional techniques with digital innovation, Joan’s art captures emotion, storytelling, and the spirit of the land. Her portfolio celebrates the rhythm of the seasons, the spirit of rural life, and the many shades of femininity. Whether painting by hand or digitally, Joan’s art is a heartfelt invitation to feel, reflect, and connect.
