She takes part in setting up an art exhibition by the society members annually. She is also a member of The Pastel Guild of Europe and of the Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce of Malta. Joanne’s artwork reflects her visions and emotions depicted in various media according to the subject. In 2008, the editor of the art magazine ‘Artists & Illustrators’ noticed Joanne’s artwork on her website and published one of Joanne’s paintings in the May 2008 edition. For Joanne, art is her passion and work. An art teacher, mother and artist, Joanne Fenech Portelli expresses her feelings and emotions through her art, be it paintings or ceramic sculptures. Her imaginative art is decorative, her landscapes poetical and peaceful, her portraits and figures expressive. She reflects her visions and sentiments in her artwork which is depicted in various media according to the mood, subject or theme she is conveying to the viewer in this universal language of art.
