Joanne Petuchovas<\/a> studied Fine Arts Education, but began her career in commercial art when everything was still done by hand (pre-computers). She eventually switched careers to Special Education. In all aspects of her personal and working life, she utilized her creativity and artistic skills to enhance her lessons and student experiences.<\/p>\n

Now retired, she has been able to concentrate on her love for\u00a0photography\u00a0and\u00a0creating with paper. Iris paper folding, tea bag folding, and collage are some of the techniques used on her unique note cards. Use of color, pattern, texture, embellishments, vintage ephemera and other \u201cfound\u201d materials enhance her designs. Her photography began with a focus on flowers, but has grown to include a variety of subjects.<\/p>\n
