Below you will find the artists’ statements, her own words. JoAnn Hughes passed away November 1, 2015. As her work lives on in the world, her memory lives in our hearts.

I came late to painting with a background in both psychology and theology and my experience as a woman, a mother; I paint to think, to speak -- it is essential to my sense of well-being and my commitment to others and to our world; It is my work.
Painting is, for me, a practice, a process of contemplation and action. It develops and expresses a response, a statement, an emotion, a struggle. Painting communicates. It is a giving of oneself - to oneself and, hopefully, to others - an offering, an honoring. In these troubled times of war, poverty, social and political injustice, environmental collapse and violence in almost every aspect of life, painting is my cry, my hope rising. I also paint for the pure pleasure of it and with the hope of creating beauty.
