Welcome to JDW Studio

My name is Joan and I am an artist living in Edinburgh, Scotland.

As a keen horticulturalist who loves growing plants from seed and watching them mature, my subject matter has been botanical life and garden design. In my recent works, I have enjoyed using the concept of stencils, inspired by Charles Rennie Macintosh and the contemporary artist Hurvin Anderson. Specifically focusing on the contrast between the organic elements with the more geometric shapes.

Joan lives and works in Edinburgh. She studied biology at Aberdeen University then moved into a career in technology. Joan works with leading edge research and development teams on innovation and new product introductions. Her previous project work involved applying artificial intelligence techniques to her own plant images to generate unique organic digital artworks called “GANs”.
