Jo Ann Pippin has been painting in watercolor for 15 years.
Her primary studies were at the Art League School in Alexandria,
VA, but she has also studied with other nationally acclaimed
artists.
Her New England landscapes and close-ups of nature
have appeared in galleries and juried art shows in New
Hampshire, Maine,
California, and Colorado. The Artful Things Gallery in
Lebanon, NH, and the New London Gallery in New London, NH,
exhibit
her original paintings and reproductions.
She won First
Place for her “Leaves and Reflections” in
Art in the Park in North Conway in 2001; that work was
also chosen by the National Watercolor society for display
in
the 2007 “All Members Show.” Her painting “Blue
Flag by a Tidal Pool” was featured as the poster
for the 2006 Portland Flower Show, and her New Hampshire
landscapes
have been recently exhibited at the River Valley Club in
Lebanon, the Forest Conservation Building in Concord, the
Lyme Public Library, and the Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital.
KEARSAGE MAGAZINE featured “Daffodils in Profusion” on
their spring 2007 issue, and the January 2007 page of the
Musterfield Farm calendar is one of her works. A special
series, “Boathouses of Lake Sunapee, ” was
exhibited in the summer of 2006 at the New London (NH)
Inn. “Plants
on Edge,” was accepted for the 2009 National Watercolor
Society 2009 All Members Show.

Lake Sunapee Boathouse Series
Inspiration
for the Boathouse Series: Somehow the inspiration to paint
the boathouses of Lake Sunapee was intertwined with the
boat-building project that my husband undertook in the
past couple of years. His dream was to produce a very sea-worthy,
trailerable, traditional-looking day cruiser with modern
materials. I call it a poor man's picnic boat.
