Sylvan Gallery Artist: Joann Ballinger

Joann Ballinger is known for her gentle pastel renditions of children, seascapes and animals. Her love of light and color and her unique perspective of life is evident in her work. Her rich purples and deep blues combined with the exquisite balance between shadows and light bring to life a child playing at the beach or tides of a sea.

Joann is an award-winning signature member of The Pastel Society of America and has been featured in many national and local magazines and is also a signature member of The American Society of Marine Artists. Her work can be seen regularly at The Mystic Maritime Gallery of Mystic, CT. Joann is a gifted instructor and has taught classes for many years at the Lyme Art Association in Old Lyme, CT.

"I paint senes that open my heart with light and sound. I hope because of that, love will flow into my paintings and be recognized by others."
