Joanna Turlej, OCAD, OSA, CFS
Biography
Joanna Turlej was born in Warsaw, Poland and raised in a southern part of the country in an environment of beautiful nature. To this day she is most inspired by landscapes.
Joanna fled a communist regime of Poland in search of better life at the age of nineteen. She travelled to London, England, from where she immigrated to Canada a year later.
In pursuit of art education, she studied at OCA (Ontario Collage of Art) in Toronto, ON and graduated with honours degree and an award of excellence. Since her graduation, she studied under many notable artists, continuously expanding her artistic knowledge and expertise.
During her 35 years career as an artist, she has explored different media, among them watercolours, acrylics, and mixed media. In 2014, her explorations led her to embrace paper collage. Her very specialized and unique technique, rendered her a lot of success. 
Joanna exhibits nationally and internationally. She is an elected member of OSA (Ontario Society of Artists) and an elected and a life member of CFS (Colour and Form Society).
Artist Statement
I cherish a beauty of nature and feel strongly connected with it. I care about the environmental problems we are facing today. Through my art, I like to highlight the importance of preserving the nature.
As a medium, I use high-quality repurposed magazine papers, Japanese papers and tissues, or my own painted papers. I express my vision by creating collage of ripped or cut papers adhered onto canvas or wooden board. I find this process challenging, exciting and environmentally friendly.
I like to interpret what I see in a meaningful way, abstracting the image to some degree or at times just creating a feeling it evokes in me in total abstraction.
