If one looks deep enough into the paintings of Joanie Levine, an entire new world is discovered — a world of textures, colors, and inferences of both the natural world and the cosmic.Levine grew up in Ohio and began her adult journey with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. She then successfully pursued a career as a stockbroker and certified financial planner, allowing her to retire at the early age of 55. Afler retirement, the seeds planted in ber mind from her father's mathematical genius influences of dark holes, quasars, and his love of Einstein could no longer wait in the shadows. While Leving had always loved a variety of creative projects from interior design to designing furniture, it was her curiosity towards abstract painting al mid-life that became the fertile soil for those seeds planted in childhood to binet.She was now on a quest of self-discovery and exploration of higher consciousness through her own imagination and creating fine art.Influcnced by some of the greats such as Warhol, Twombly, and Snyder, artist Joanie Levine has no doubt found her guru - her own imagination itself. Levine's works strike a harmonious chord of strength, softness, peace, chaos, nature, and cosmos. She continues to hold true to her childbood influences af Einstein and his wise words, "Logic gets you from A to B... imagination will take you everywhere. Imagination embraces the entire world." Levine's paintings are rich with imagination, are a testimony of exploration and curiosity as well as an invitation to embrace a whole new world.
