For Cole inspirational thought is found through the shapes and lines that reflects a moment and place in time. Balanced on an apex of energy and stillness nature inspired observations and philosophical considerings are honoured with awe and wonder. Expressed through an uplift of value in the hues Joanna is considering human contributions to the environment with an invitation to the viewer to Consider Differently.

Colour plays a significant role in the way Cole looks at flora and landforms.  Pinkish, reddish, and yellow hues penetrate perceptions of a location and a situation. She looks for the pink in the sky, the leaf, the stone and these hues dominate the canvas in order to catch the eye, the mind and the spirit.
