Biographical Information
JoAnn Godenir ~ [21st Century] Canadian
see artist's website at www.joanngodenir.com
Canadian mixed-media abstract painter JoAnn Godenir draws on the prairie landscape of her birth to evoke home, memory, and place. Working in oil and cold wax, a medium that demands patience, she builds each piece over many days, slowly deepening its surface. It is a practice rooted in trust, where nothing is rushed, and nothing is forced. Using unconventional tools, including pottery instruments, Godenir creates surfaces with genuine depth and texture, where each mark is earned rather than applied. Her work is held in private and public collections across Canada and the U.S., including a 2025 commissioned installation for Hotel Canoe in Banff, Alberta.
