Joanne Ryall was Born in England, I am still lucky enough to live deep in the Countryside, near the South West coast, surrounded by rich wildlife and stunning scenery. Her uncle was a sculptor and artist, and awakened in her a love of art, and the details there-in. At the same time, her father was busily ensuring she developed a passion for firearms and shooting.
You would often find her in the metalwork or woodwork shop at school, rather than needlepoint, or cookery classes! When she left school, she trained and worked as a sign writer.
Other business avenues, eventually took her attention, flourished, and allowed her the luxury of returning to concentrate on her passion for both hunting and art combined.
Her hunting has taken her across the world, and allowed her to amass a store of experiences on different continents. Wanting to capture these memories and images, the detail possible with Scrimshaw and engraving has provided a natural medium for her.
