Joanna Taylor creates from memory, imagination, and emotion, crafting folk-inspired works that blend home, history, and the natural world. Working in painting, collage, textiles, and book arts, she builds her own “art supplies” by carving stamps, sewing, and gathering natural materials to create “earth notes” on paper and cloth.

Have your little ones exercise their creative writing skills by participating in our Earth Day poetry contest! Each student (K-6) will write an original poem about the Sonoran Desert—how this place is their home, or about animals, plants, the landscape, observations, feelings, hopes—whatever is important to them. Poems must be submitted by March 30, 2026.
