Joleanna is a gallery artist, muralist, and live event painter based in Columbus, Ohio, working in a style best described as immersive realism. Her work carries a strong social narrative, intentionally crafted to evoke emotions that invites viewers to engage more deeply with the messages embedded within each piece.

Through dramatic use of light and shadow and detailed portraiture, Joleanna creates visually compelling works that explore themes of community and connection and are designed to foster dialogue and build meaningful relationships.

With the same passion she brings to her own work, Joleanna is deeply involved in the Columbus arts community. She collaborates with nonprofits and educational programs to help cultivate a stronger, more sustainable creative ecosystem.

Working closely with 934 Gallery and Wild Goose Creative, she advocates for fair pay for artists while supporting mentorship and arts education initiatives. She is currently a tenant at Blockfort, where she maintains her active studio practice.

Joleanna has multiple public murals installed throughout Columbus and has expanded her practice to include large-scale mural installations, interactive mural experiences, and live painting engagements across several states. Her largest mural to date, completed in 2025, spans 500 square feet.
