Join the Studio Team

I'm Joanne Hastie, a landscape artist based in British Columbia. My work is inspired by forest trails, early sunrises, and mountain bike adventures. I create original paintings, and prints that help people bring the calm of the outdoors into their homes.

As my art business continues to grow, I'm building a small, remote team to help with the behind-the-scenes magic—so I can stay focused on painting. If you’re detail-oriented, creative, and love supporting the arts, I’d love to hear from you.
