Swimming pools overlooking the sea, indoor pools, natural pools, private pools at the back of small villas, but also endless white beaches. No matter the time of year we are living or the temperature outside the window, it is always summer in Joanne Ho‘s paintings. 

Joanne Ho is an illustrator and artist from New Zealand who precisely lives in the North Shore district of Auckland, a magical place where she works surrounded by nature and close to beautiful beaches. 

The carefree atmosphere of these places, and the desire to cover the white walls of her new home, led Joanne Ho to paint the landscapes that made her dream. Today, looking through her portfolio we can start a journey from New Zealand to some of the most beautiful and exotic places in the world, from Brazil to Santorini, to the luxurious swimming pools of the Marrakesh palaces. 

Joanne Ho realizes her paintings using a particular type of gouache, coming from Japan, which is much more covering than the traditional ones and, once dry, becomes completely opaque. With her works, the New Zealand artist gives us a one-way ticket for a magical summer.
