JoAnn O’Hara – Contemporary Abstract Artist | Mixed Media Painter

JoAnn O’Hara is a contemporary abstract artist known for her bold, intuitive style and love of mixed media. Her work blends layers of texture, color, and emotion to create pieces that feel raw, expressive, and deeply human. Whether she’s working with acrylic, oil or ink, JoAnn builds each piece through a process that’s both spontaneous and intentional.

JoAnn’s art is inspired by nature, memory, and the quiet in-between spaces of life. Her paintings have been featured in exhibitions across the U.S. and are part of private and corporate collections.

JoAnn believes art should be both personal and accessible — a conversation between the artist and the viewer. Alongside her studio practice, she’s passionate about supporting other creatives, sharing her process, and connecting through visual storytelling.
