Joanna Grant (aka Joanna Banana) is a collage/mixed media artist from the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada. She draws inspiration from many sources including her love for music and nature, and the study of metaphysics.

For the past 15l years, her work has concentrated on taking materials that would otherwise end up in our landfills and recycling it into collage art. "My work has a fun, funky and primitive look and feel to it. The final product is often a bit rough and unrefined, but I think that just adds to the character and interest of the piece."

"I just love to take scraps and bits of stuff that would normally be thrown out and turn it into little treasures for people to cherish. It is very satisfying for both myself and my customers to know we're making even the smallest impact on improving our environment by recycling."

"Joanna Banana Design Originals"

is her line of mixed media art, cards, pendants and magnets and is sold through Etsy.com and ArtFire.com and internationally in galleries and through fine arts & crafts shows.
